Actually, I think they've been eclipsed by microSD cards. A microSD
card weighs ~0.25g and you can fit ~6000/l, with 256GB on each. (And,
unlike the 185TB tapes, you can actually buy 256GB cards and readers). Tapes are still bigger than disks, to my
understanding. The state of the
art is 185 TB according to a quick google.
As the old saying went, never underestimate the bandwidth of a
station-wagon full of mag tapes...
