Recording at High Volumetric Packing Densities

Irving Wolf, Thomas Neuman

Small-format digital recording requires increased media volumetric packing density (MVPD). This article presents the recording performance of an experimental metal evaporated tape (MET), for which MVPD in excess of 1 Tbit/in.3 was achieved on currently available recording systems. At this density, 4.3 hr of D-2 recording can be stored in 1 in.3 of this tape, compared with 20 min for an equal volume of D-2 tape at D-2 densities.
