Tape Storage vs Flash

While clearing out some old gear, I found some of my old backup tape cartridges: DC2120 and TR400.

66 DC2120 = 1 8GB SD CardWhat’s interesting is the storage capacity compared to today: 120MB and 400MB respectively. This was sufficient at the time to make a complete backup of my hard drive, but today would be very quickly filled with a few sets of digital photos. Compare this with an 8GB SD Flash card available for £16.99 today.

You mean an 8GB Flash Card, don’t you? :)
