If not because of blogging, I won’t get to know that there’s a certain thing as tape drive. Somewhat techie idiot, you know.LOL. Anyway, I’m glad that I am learning new things. For sure I won’t be able to learn this in the office. Since I am not familiar with tape drives, I checked on wikipedia for its meaning and purpose. As I understand it, it is a data storage device that reads and writes data being stored on a magnetic tape. Basically, it is used for archival storage of data on hard drives. Quite interesting. This maybe a good alternative from getting an external hard drive. Will just check its availability here and its advantages and disadvantages compared to HDD. But of course if the price is right, I will go for tape drive.
