| | Tape drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A tape drive, also known as a streamer, is a peripheral device that reads and writes data stored on a magnetic tape or a punched tape. | | | Tape drives are sequential-access, and must wind past all preceding data to read any one particular piece of data. | | | This article was originally based on material from the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, which is licensed under the GFDL. |

| | Hard drive data recovery involves replacing failed components such as read/write heads, head assemblies, magnets and drive motors in a clean environment. | | | Recovering files logically includes recovering the data portion of a tape that was successfully recorded, but for some unknown reason cannot be read. | | | If hard errors occur, "dummy blocks" are written in their place, the file fragments are pieced back together and the logically re-created file written to the appropriate output tape. |
