There's typically been about two to three years between generations, right? - Yeah, the consortium gets together and all the tech guys go, hey, these are our goals for the next generation. More capacity, faster write speeds, things of that nature. - All the typical technology things, more storage, faster speed. - Right, in a few years, probably another decade or so, probably about 10 years or so, we'll maybe see LTO-10 which I think has a capacity of 48 terabytes per cartridge, right, that's just crazy, but the generations that you're going to find in common use today are probably LTO-5 through LTO-7.
