To put this into perspective, current hard disk drives can only reach around 0.02TB/cm^2, with future models projected to achieve approximately 0.1TB/cm^2. Traditional tape storage, as seen in LTO cartridges, tops out at 0.006TB//cm^2 (or 317Gb/in^2).
Cerabyte plans to launch the first-generation racks featuring this innovative technology in 2025, with an initial capacity of 10PB (equivalent to 10,000TB). This capacity is expected to grow to 100PB by the end of the decade. Furthermore, Cerabyte has ambitions to introduce 1EB (one billion Gigabytes) CeraTape racks, designed as 5µm-thick ribbons coated with a 10nm thick ceramic layer.
