Sony Stuffs 3,700 Blu-Rays Into Cassette Tape

Stupid hipster 80s fetishism notwithstanding, cassette tapes don't get much love. That's a shame, because magnetic tape is still a surprisingly robust way to back up data. Especially now: Sony just unveiled tape that holds a whopping 148 GB per square inch, meaning a cassette could hold 185 TB of data. Prepare for the mixtape to end all mixtapes.
Sony's technique, which will be discussed at today's International Magnetics Conference in Dresden, uses a vacuum-forming technique called sputter deposition to create a layer of magnetic crystals by shooting argon ions at a polymer film substrate. The crystals, measuring just 7.7 nanometers on average, pack together more densely than any other previous method.
Can't even get my head around 3,700 blu-ray's worth of data.

I'm almost positive I used this exact tape cassette to make a mixed tape for my GF in about 1985. Back then if you put some Chicago and Journey together on a cassette tape and then gave it to a girl , you were gonna get laid.

Unauthorized uploads to youtube do not have the same effect

This is just terrific, exactly what Sony needs to do is to R&D a cassette tape to bring back.

The 1998 Windstar that my parents have will be thrilled to know that cassettes are making a comeback.

Yea, that's what I was thinking they were going to say was the method?

And I'll just stuff two pieces of paper into the slots on top of the cassette and erase they shite like it ain't about nathan.

Used to own one of those. Saved my wife and youngest daughters life when they were totalled by a semi-truck. Daughter was 3 years old.
Very safe vehicle at the time. and yeah we rocked some cassette tapes!

GTFO with this weak cassette shite.
My first car was a 1975 Cutlass Supreme with an 8-track tape player. Panties were dropping 3 counties over.

They have plans for an 8 track that holds up to 7500 Blurays of data but I can't find the link.

So maybe this saying won't come true, and kids will learn the connection:
