I need a woman...reversehitler88 (43)in #mgtow • 6 years ago ... about as much as a gaming PC needs a tape drive. #meme #feminism #gaming
Tape drives are obsolete.
The old real to real tape units had more data throughput than most computers could handle up till a few years ago.
I am not sure if micro flash cards are tighter in bytes/sq in than tapes.
Yeah. If you want to save a lot of data away, they are still used or at least have been just a few years ago. I wouldnt say they are obsolete, they are not very useful for games or generaly much besides backups.
If I could make a case with what looks like one of those old real to real tape drives, i feel i could sell a bunch.
