All those tape fraudsters...
40TB in tape probably means *5TB uncompressed
:-)
(Yes, I know their false marketing was normally assuming 2:1 compression)
Indeed. Spec is 20.6TB uncompressed using 36GB DLT 7000 cartridges. Still, the most storage local in any current phone is 128GB with another 128GB possible through a microSD card. Combined that is "only" 1/4th of a TB. Looks like we'll definitely have to reference cloud storage on the sign. I am fine with that because the prevalence of LTE + WiFi make many TBs of storage * essentially * local/personal to your phone.
