"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." – Andrew Tanenbaum
My dad had tapes, but I never got to see data go from a tape to ram. They had 8 GB of space, I remember
Tapes hold a lot more now. LTO-9 tapes hold 18 TB and IBM 3592 Gen 6 tapes hold 50 TB.
