Current operational capabilities of tape recording for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at the Haystack Observatory allow 0.7 terabytes (12 hours at 128 Mb/s) of data to be stored in a 128 cu. inch volume. On-going efforts are aimed at full time 1 Gb/s operation with two 36-channel headstacks. Applications for linear digital tape recording, with suitable development of thin-film head arrays, suggest a volume density exceeding 1 TB/cu. inch to be achievable in the future.
