This is an incredible advance in tape storage, allowing tape to be used
like a hard drive.
It enables "drag-and-drop" just like you can with disk and flash drives.
Fox, ESPN, Discovery, and HBO love LTFS (Linear Tape File System).

Let's say you performed a tape backup to a different tape cartridge each
day for the past 60 days.
Each of the 60 tape cartridges' data is viewable and searchable, even
though none of the 60 tape cartridges are currently loaded into your
tape unit, right?
How soon will IBM offer a tape drive with LTFS technology that can be
attached to the IBM i Power 7?
Soon? Or not yet on the horizon?
