A tape drive is a data storage device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape. Magnetic tape data storage is typically used for offline, archival data storage.
Tape media generally has a favorable unit cost and a long archival stability.
Companies still use data tape drives for several key reasons:

Security – Tape formats such as LTO-Ultrium offer encryption features, which allow for easier compliance with various laws and information security standards. Additionally, many businesses need to maintain physical control of data, and data tapes have a major advantage over cloud services in this respect.

Portability – Tapes are physical, small and manageable. Cloud-based systems are not physically portable, and tapes are fairly easy to store as compared to hard drives, servers and other physical media.

Durability – A well-maintained set of data tape drives allows for dependable long-term storage. Many digital tapes can retain data for 30 years or more without regular maintenance. Hard drives, solid-state drives and other devices become less reliable during long periods of storage.
