Magnetic Tape Part
Help with storage device question part 2?

If you could either choose magnetic tapes, magnetic hard disks, recordable optical discs, and flash memory USB drives what would you choose for each scenario, and why?

4. You want to store all the paintings of Impressionist painters for use by your local library patrons. Patrons can search by artist name, artist nationality, or by the paintings topic. The library would like multiple copies of what you store, and to be able to loan them to patrons for viewing at home.

5. You need to keep tax records of millions of taxpayers for several years. The archiving is done after all processing of tax filings are complete and after all refunds and payments have been made. IRS employees must occasionally go back and retrieve specific records from these files, and when they need a record, and they want to access it directly.

See my answers to Part 1 for reference to the below:

4) Same as #2 in part 1

5) In reality, this would be archived on a read-only SAN, but I think the spirit of the question is looking for Recordable Optical Disks - same as #2 in part 1. Pretty much anything archival should have the highest integrity (reliability that the data is accurate and represents the intended information). The highest integrity is achieved through first through certified original documents, then through read only storage (CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.).
