330 million books, one piece of tape.

We’ve got a new world record in storage capacity, folks. Sony Storage Media Solutions, in collaboration with IBM scientists, recorded 201 gigabits of uncompressed data onto a square inch of magnetic tape. When those square inches are wound into a single palm-sized cartridge they’re capable of storing 330 terabytes of information, or the equivalent of about 330 million books. Better start reading.

   Really cool that they can put so much onto such a little device. Maybe could be a good way to get higher literacy rates...
