There is a large amount of lifespan variability in actual use. One full file pass is equal to writing enough data to fill an entire tape and takes between 44 and 208 end-to-end passes. Regularly writing only 50% capacity of the tape results in half as many end-to-end tape passes for each scheduled backup, and thereby doubles the tape lifespan.
As some data can be compressed to a smaller size than the original files, it has become commonplace when marketing tape drives to state the capacity with the assumption of a 2:1 compression ratio; thus a tape with a capacity of 80 GB would be sold as "80/160". The true storage capacity is also known as the native capacity or the raw capacity ...
The T10000E drive was expected in 2017 with capacity in the 12-16 TB range; [9] however, development was cancelled in 2016. Oracle continue to feature the model T10000D on their website for use in select models of StorageTek robotic tape libraries, [ 10 ] but Oracle has adopted LTO-8 tape drives for future capacity expansion on many of their ...

Enterprise-class drives can have a height up to 15 mm. Seagate released a 7 mm drive aimed at entry level laptops and high end netbooks in December 2009. Western Digital released on April 23, 2013 a hard drive 5 mm in height specifically aimed at Ultrabooks. [37] Toshiba MK1216GSG 1.8" 120 GB hard disk drive with Micro SATA
The ratio actually obtained depends on the nature of the data so the compression ratio cannot be relied upon when specifying the capacity of equipment, e.g., a drive claiming a compressed capacity of 500 GB may not be adequate to back up 500 GB of real data.

In 2018, the largest hard drive had a capacity of 15 TB, while the largest capacity SSD had a capacity of 100 TB. [38] As of 2018 [update] , HDDs were forecast to reach 100 TB capacities around 2025, [ 39 ] but as of 2019 [update] , the expected pace of improvement was pared back to 50 TB by 2026. [ 40 ]
