"The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced Monday that the General Services Administration converted 14,000 magnetic to digital records, and claimed the process saved a million dollars a year.
@DOGE on X: The @USGSA IT team just saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records.
The problem is, magnetic tapes are regarded by storage and archivist professionals as being a stable, reliable, and safe medium for long-term data storage. Just because it’s a 70 year old medium doesn’t mean those records needed a massive overhaul to digital, that it will save any money in the long term, or that the new storage method is better.
Casual storage enjoyers might hear tape and think fragile spools of plastic that can rot or wear out. But digital storage is not necessarily a better option if you’re trying to keep information for years; digital storage rot, or “bit rot,” can affect a hard drive over years of storage, making the data corrupt or inaccessible. This happens when the electrical charge inside a solid-state storage device—like the kind of digital drive we can assume DOGE is talking about—leaks and causes the drive to lose performance."

@w0bb1t I remember reading about this a couple decades ago in an IBM white paper called "The Toxic Terabyte"
Might be worth a reread.
https://ia801003.us.archive.org/2/items/TheToxicTerabyte/The%20Toxic%20Terabyte.pdf
Thought I'd have a look at what #DataStorage densities are at these days.
Tape: 77_922 TB/m³
Hard disk: 92_927 TB/m³
Flash: 5_681_818 TB/m³ 
However, flash would suffer the biggest density penalty from being wrapped in a cartridge for automated hot swapping (like a robotic tape library, but for SSDs). That figure is based on the dimensions of a M.2 2280 card. Tape, on the other hand, is already in a cartridge.
Will there be robotic SSD libraries at some point in the future?
