Memory Alpha

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

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.
