   148 gigabits per square inch. It's a tape. 148 gigabits is 18.5 gigabytes. Meaning there are 100 square inches of tape in the cassette. Or like 65 feet of tape in length, assuming it's 1/8 inch. Which is like 1/4 of the amount found in a regular cassette tape apparently.
   
   This math doesn't add up. My brain no work good.

    They're not cassette tapes like the kind you play music on
    This type of storage has been around for several decades used for archiving

    they're super slow to read/write so they're not much good for anything but long-term storage
