The LTO consortium – HPE, IBM and Quantum – announced a roadmap that envisions LTO‑14 tapes holding up to 365 TB of native data per cartridge. Current LTO‑10 tapes store 40 TB. The group said it is slowing capacity growth to keep reliability, cost per terabyte and recovery times in check. Tape remains a niche backup solution despite newer SSDs reaching 256 TB.
Enterprises with massive archives can keep backup costs low without sacrificing reliability.
