Addressing reading method, addressing writing method and tape system

The invention discloses an addressing reading method, an addressing writing method and a magnetic tape system, and relates to the technical field of magnetic tapes. The problems that a mechanical arm in a tape library needs to move a tape cartridge, and after the tape cartridge is aligned with a magnetic head, the magnetic head accesses a tape in the tape cartridge, so that the read-write delay is too high, and the data access efficiency of the tape library is low are solved. For a tape system in which the same data is stored in different tape medium memories in a multi-copy form for backup, after a read request is received, a first tape medium memory of which the access duration is less than or equal to a threshold value is selected from a plurality of tape medium memories, and a read instruction is sent to the first tape medium memory; therefore, the target data can be read, the tape cartridge does not need to be moved, the time delay caused by alignment of the magnetic head and the tape is reduced, and the access efficiency of the tape system is improved.
