And they wonder why they're going bankrupt. They should start wasting their money on something that might sell!

Not meant for standard consumers, companies with vast amounts of data like Google eat this kind of stuff up. 

Reading the comments below the article.

"A digital sound recorder with this tape could document every single moment of your life, from your first cry after leaving your mothers womb to your dying breath."

Wow...That's just incredible.

Tell me when Blu-Ray discs store that much.

So where's my uncompressed 4K video player using that tape.
4K 24 fps is only 2tb per hour, screw that
8K 120 fps 12 bit color uncompressed 59tb per hour, 3h 15m per tape.
Can it read 16.7 GB/s though.

185 TB Cassette Tape? Can this be what they'll use for the next gen consoles games/PC games instead of CDs?

jk jk

Hurray for that!

Make it 285TB and I can back up mine too =/

Finally! i can make the ultimate mix tape for banging

Some say that the next Titanfall game will need this much for uncompressed audio

Sorry, couldn't resist :D
