Three questions as one who is mostly ignorant of magnetic tape:
1. How expensive is this medium per unit of memory (for example, per terabyte)?
2. How well (practical effectiveness) can it connect to home devices and be used to store information such as photos, texts, documents, videos etc? Related sub-question: how well does its lasting power compare to HDD?
3. Where/how would one buy reliable magnetic tape storage devices?
In case anyone who knows the subject well wouldn't mind answering a bit.
