There’s a revamped, more capacious magnetic tape format in town. The Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium Format companies, composed of industry leaders HPE, IBM Corporation, and Quantum Corporation, announced the LTO-10 40TB cartridge standard a few hours ago. In an email to Tom’s Hardware, the organization heralded the new tape cart’s 40TB native capacity, which they say can deliver up to 100TB, compressed, assuming a 2.5:1 compression ratio.
