Some Parameters in the Design of Streaming Tape Drives

: Several parameters play an important role in the design of tape subsystems. This paper analyzes some of these parameters and their relationships in determining the capacity and throughput of the tape subsystem. The pros and cons of trade offs among these parameters are also offered in choosing the right values for these parameters.
