AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

One historical disadvantage of tape-based storage relative to disk-based storage is the relatively poor access time associated with tape-based storage, where the time required to introduce a tape to a tape drive and then wind the tape to a file location Usually about 40 seconds on average

Abstract

An apparatus includes a receiving area configured to receive a plurality of mounts, each mount configured to support at least one tape reel pair thereon. The magnetic head is configured to perform a data operation on the magnetic recording tape of the tape reel pair. The positioning mechanism is configured to selectively align the magnetic head to a selected one of the tape reel pairs. A product device according to another method includes a mount having a pair of tape reels thereon. The mount is configured to be inserted into a receiving area of a device configured to receive the plurality of mounts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data storage systems and, more particularly, to an apparatus that uses multiple spools of magnetic tape to significantly improve data access times. Background technique [0002] In a magnetic storage system, a magnetic transducer reads data from and writes data to a magnetic recording medium. Data is written to the magnetic recording medium by moving the magnetic recording transducer over the medium where the data is to be stored. The magnetic recording transducer then generates a magnetic field that encodes the data into the magnetic medium. Data is read from the medium by similarly positioning a magnetic read transducer and then sensing the magnetic field of the magnetic medium. Read and write operations can be independently synchronized with the movement of the medium to ensure that data can be read from and written to the desired location on the medium. [0003] An important and ongoing goal in the data storage i...
