The magnetic tape is made up of a plastic film-type material coated with magnetic materials to store data permanently. Data can be read as well as recorded. It is usually 12.5mm to 25mm wide and 500m to 1200 m long.
Magnetic tapes hold the maximum data ,which can be accessed sequentially. They are generally used to store backup data or that type of data, which is not frequently used or to transfer data from one system to another. Magnetic tape is a type of physical storage for different kinds of data.
Magnetic tape is considered as an analog solution, such as solid state disk (SSD) drives.
Magnetic tape has been a major storage for audio and binary data storage for several decades, and is still part of data storage for some systems. A sequential storage medium used for data collection and backup. The first electronic storage medium, magnetic tape is made of flexible plastic with one side coated with a ferromagnetic material. Tapes were originally open reels but were superseded by cartridges and cassettes of many sizes and shapes. In magnetic tape data can be read as well as recorded for the future use.
What magnetic tape is used for?
Magnetic tape is a very functional and convenient material. With the properties of a magnet mixed with the self-adhesive characteristics of tape, the possibilities of the things you can create are virtually endless. Magnetic tape is the oldest technologies for storing electronic data. Magnetic tape is used for primary and backup storage medium, magnetic tape remains well-suited for archiving because of its high capacity storage. It is low cost and has long lasting durability.

1.Magnetic Recording (recording tape)
2.Storing Data (inside hard disk)
3.Warehouse shelving
4.Attaching tools to machines
5.Hanging signs/displays
The magnetic tape has a variety of versatile uses and purposes, and it can be used almost anywhere.
Various Types Of Magnetic Tape as follows:
JVCC MAG-01-W (labeling inventory, writing)
