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.

They don’t need to archive AI output silly, they need to archive the cumulative works of the internet because they keep forcing hosts to shut down with what are among the most aggresive web-crawlers ever deployed outside of DoS attacks.

But thats pointless archiving it on tape, the access time is going to handicap the training speed.

They are going to have more than one drive, obviously. And 400 MB/s is nothing to scoff at.
