The tape is an important part in the computer industry. This is the most type of the storage device. The tape is basically a magnetic storage device. The tape is used for the storage of the data. Presently the market has taken the space for the hard disk drives in contrast with the tape drives. The tape drives are there from at least half a century or so. The tapes where first used in the early 1950’s. The most important reason for the usage of the tape drive is cost effectiveness. It is much cheaper than the other storage media. Usually used for the back up or archival of the data. The capacity of the tape is much higher. And it still considered as the reliable efficient form of data storage. The storage system that was first implemented was on the reel to reel systems. This utilized the linear method of recording known as the serpentine. Later in the following years the open reel systems changed to the closed or single serpentine recording.
