23rd century memory tapes

Tapes were a type of 23rd century computer memory storage medium, resembling 20th century floppy discs but with far greater capacity. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie", "Tomorrow is Yesterday", "And the Children Shall Lead", "The Lights of Zetar", "Obsession"; TAS: "The Survivor")

Considering the memory storage capabilities of 23rd century computers, it is unclear why such a medium would be necessary, unless it became a security measure to safeguard information from being downloaded by alien scans.
