2. Magnetic tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape

   Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic storage made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film. It was developed in Germany in 1928, based on the earlier magnetic wire recording from Denmark. Devices that use magnetic tape can with relative ease record and play back audio, visual, and binary computer data.

3. Magnetic-tape data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-tape_data_storage

   Tape was an important medium for primary data storage in early computers, typically using large open reels of 7-track, later 9-track tape. Modern magnetic tape is most commonly packaged in cartridges and cassettes, such as the widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) [1] and IBM 3592 series.

4. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

   A magnetisation distribution is achieved along the magnetic tape. Finally, the distribution of the magnetisation can be read out, reproducing the original signal. The magnetic tape is typically made by embedding magnetic particles (approximately 0.5 micrometers [4] in size) in a plastic binder on polyester film tape. The most commonly-used of ...

5. Tape drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_drive

   A tape drive is a data storage device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape. Magnetic-tape data storage is typically used for offline, archival data storage. Tape media generally has a favorable unit cost and long archival stability. A tape drive provides sequential access storage, unlike a hard disk drive, which provides direct access ...

6. Compact Cassette tape types and formulations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Cassette_tape...

   Remanence of audio tapes, referred to quarter-inch tape width, varies from around 1100 G for basic ferric tapes to 3500 G for Type IV tapes; [5] advertised remanence of the 1986 JVC Type IV cassette reached 4800 G. [6] Coercivity is a measure of the external magnetic flux required to magnetize the tape, and an indicator of the necessary bias level.

7. Reel-to-reel audio tape recording - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel-to-reel_audio_tape...

   A reel-to-reel tape recorder (Sony TC-630), typical of a 1970s audiophile device. Reel-to-reel audio tape recording, also called open-reel recording, is magnetic tape audio recording in which the recording tape is spooled between reels. To prepare for use, the supply reel (or feed reel) containing the tape is placed on a spindle or hub.
