Magnetic tape.... lol
Cassette tapes used to be a popular form of storage with personal computers in the 70s and 80s, but were extremely slow.
Though, IBM and fujifilm have developed working prototypes, which are said to hold up to 35 TB each, and 200 times more efficient than standard HDD.
Pretty interesting. Being able to store all that data and carry it with you. 35 TB
Found it here IBM and Fujifilm develop 35TB magnetic tape cartridges, unveil it in black and white and a lot of other sources

Still holds a lot. And it wouldn't be used daily like normal storage mediums. It could be a place where you lets say store all your pictures on for safe keeping or all your financial records, etc. Or your entire music collection. All able to be stored on a single cassette you can store away and retrieve it when you need.

They are in cassette form, you have to try to break it.
I still have audio cassettes from the 80s that work perfectly.
The only way you're gonna rip it is if you try to fuck with the tape on purpose or it gets crushed or something.
Which would also destroy every other kind of storage medium these days.
