This equates to a standard LTO cartridge capable of storing up to 154 terabytes of uncompressed data, which is 62 times greater than today’s current LTO6 cartridge capacity.

This new record was reached using an advanced prototype tape incorporating NANOCUBIC technology developed by Fujifilm, with advanced tape-drive technologies developed by IBM.

"This data density achievement is significant as corporate data is growing at an incredible rate, and secure and reliable storage remain critical considerations in today’s market," said Norio Shibata, corporate vice president, Fujifilm Corporation, Recording Media Products Division. "Together with our partners at IBM, we have been able to create the basis for extraordinary data density on tape that is fast, cost effective and energy efficient - characteristics that benefit every organisation." This is the third time in less than 10 years that Fujifilm, working with IBM scientists, have achieved such an accomplishment.

"The team at IBM has focused on improving head technology to produce significantly stronger magnetic fields needed for improved tape capacity, speed and reliability, while leveraging Fujifilm’s advanced NANOCUBIC technology," said Norio Shibata, corporate vice president, Fujifilm Corporation, Recording Media Products Division. "Looking forward, these large capacity tapes will prove to be the most reliable and affordable storage alternative, satisfying the requirements for Big Data and cloud storage."
