half-inch tape |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.43 sec. |

A magnetic tape format that has been in use since the 1950s. Second-generation computers used 7-track, half-inch tape in open reels that were threaded by hand. Third-generation computers used 9-track open reels. Although the maximum storage is little more than 250MB per reel, new open-reel drives have been manufactured into the 21st century. However, the market for such hardware dwindles every passing year.
