From what I understand VCRs are actually surprisingly complex and precise. They usually feed the tape at bizzare fucked-up angles.

stuff like this is less about how complex it is and just that nobody cares about it anymore.

I mean ironically enough, for deep storage purposes, tape is actually making a comeback apparently. We abandoned the tech pretty early on so there's actually a ton of room for improvement on it. If you don't need quick read-write speeds, current tape drives are basically unmatched for storage density and stability.

tape never technically stopped existing. i think most visual media even today exists on reels. idk about for storage though and idk if youd consider it the same as a reel either.

Modern tape drives can easily be like 40TB or some crazy shit like that, with the added benefit of being able to leave them in a storage box unpowered for like 30 years without losing data.

yeah thats what im not understanding, what is a "tape drive" and how does it work compared to an HDD or SSD? i think my boomer brain is working against me rn

i dont think its possible for whatever a "tape drive" youre talking about to function the same way as a vhs player.

It's basically a crazy-long reel of tape crammed into a small form factor. They can't really read or write from random spots on the reel like you can with an HDD or SSD, but once they've rewound or moved ahead to the correct position they're on par or even faster than a typical HDD. They're best for situations where you need to store a ton of data relatively cheaply but don't necessarily need to access it often. Very good for archival purposes, for instance.

i dont see that taking off too much. youre close to my age and im guessing you have some knowledge of how much of a pain searching for a specific spot on a VHS was as a kid. even if its got the storage advantage atm i see it easily being beaten out by just an HDD. i bought 8tbs recently and it can usually boot up in as much time as it takes me to go across the room and turn on the light and whatever i would want to screw with, whether i want to watch DBZ, or play DOOM, is basically instant. i can only see these formats completely outclassing it

i also bought 8tb on an HDD for like 100$ and i dont even know how im going to fill it. i dont see the value in anything else rn

Yeah it's not really meant for average consumer use. It's primarily if you need to store a ton of data for a long time. Think shit like the records for an entire company or uncompressed video/audio. Stuff you want to keep around in case you ever need to reference it, but not something you're going to use every day. Very much deep storage.

Basically way more stable than even a hard drive. Also useful as emergency backups or in sensitive situations where you want a completely offline storage medium protected from cybersecurity threats.

Yeah, primary use case is for things you absolutely cannot afford to lose. Like, imagine if all of Dragon Ball was stored digitally and then a tsunami happens and fries every drive containing it. Sure some people might have it downloaded somewhere, but the original master is lost forever. Tape drives don't even need power to maintain their data, so unless the thing is physically annihilated you can still pull that info off even decades later.

dragonball is a really fun example of why i dont care. the fans are keeping it alive more than the companies that are involved in its longevity. we just got the entire series back and better than ever! goku always wins!

Okay, maybe not the best example, but do you get what I'm trying to say? Like the kind of shit you NEED to be able to access again at some point down the line?
