The researchers showcased this feat at the 28th Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2017) in Japan.
IBM worked closely with Sony for several years, particularly on enabling increased areal recording densities.
IBM made use of its reading and writing technology with Sonys sputtered magnetic tape to store data.
The scientists also used several layers of nano particles to extend the tape length.
Further, IBM also incorporated their advanced servo control technologies, and innovative signal-processing algorithms.
The prototype developed by IBM and Sony uses sputtered magnetic tape to store data.
Sony Storage Media Solutions indicated the possibility of continuing to scale up storage on tapes for another decade.
Thats really good news for our customers that could rely on tape technology.
Its kind of an integral part of their storage infrastructure to really preserve their data in a cost-effective manner.
