What do you mean back in the hardware business? IBM gets fat DoD cheques to basically develop stuff that'll be used in the military.

DELET THIS

meanwhile samsung is pushing a royalty free alternative to uhs which is backwards compatible with micro sdcard slots

Sebastian Sullivan
They never left. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that they find a way to jump back in the consumer hardware game.
Blake Price
>165 TB in backups
How even
Carter Adams
Agreed.
Plus I want my vertical cart loader drive for my Linux ITX.
>Maximum comfyness achieved.
Dominic Gomez
> The largest commercially available tapes only store 15TB. So, 330TB is quite a lot.
Wow this site sure is for morons.
Luis Perry
>expecting Sup Forums to care about innovations in storage technology
You made a mistake OP!
Xavier Adams
Will they bring back retro tech (with modern specs) for fags like me?

CASSETTE TAPES ARE BACK BAABBEEE
Camden Jackson
At what point did Big Blue ever leave the hardware business?
Dylan Sanders
THE TAPE IS A KILOMETER LONG
Isaiah Morales
It never stopped being into hardware though.
Ethan Jenkins
>So 330tb is more big. I like more big.
*claps*
Samuel Morales
Well, reading this thread, some sure do
Oliver James
Finally another alternative to flash storage
we can finally end modern physical bitrot for archiving
this plus multi platter HDDs will provide competition for the market for a while to come
Carson Jones
They left the consumer market when they sold Thinkpad.
Hopefully this is their re-entry into consumer business class.
Aaron Howard

They never left. They just don't make consumer shit that you can shill for them.
Ryder Reed
>built-in lubricant layer
James King
Tape drives have always had the best storage to cost ratio.
Charles Gonzalez
FUCK YOU WITH YOUR NAZY COMPANY
Brayden Rogers
Optane will beat it
Christopher Jackson
Related IBM marketing image.
Interesting that this is still on a 100nm-ish scale. I wonder if they eventually also bring data tracks down to like 15nm or smaller.
