Needless to say, Fujifilm is citing generative AI and other AI-related services as major drivers behind the growing demand for magnetic tape

LTO-10 tapes were released earlier this year, providing a native capacity of 40 terabytes.

      Again: It depends.

      I would use it as a storage provider on which I would put an encrypted veracrypt drive (or whatevee is the good stuff).
      Or as an off-site storage provider for my backup.

      As a single atorage site? Nah. Too expensive for my home needs.
      For a business? If you can’t afford to drop 1200€ for 3x 4TB SSDs to bring your data backups off-site? Pretty good offering.
      And the immutability is a plus as well.

          Our clients use S3 as an offsite storage. About 2-3TB (deduplicated is possible) in storage usually.
          Client is small and medium doctor offices.

              How is encrypted backup data worse???
              Domestic providers with relevant datacenter certification receiving useless backup blobs in an encrypted format…
