Provided are a magnetic tape control system that executes pre-rewinding storage of storing a magnetic tape in a state of being wound around a reel, and post-rewinding storage of storing the magnetic tape in a state of being rewound around a reel different from or the same reel as the reel after the pre-rewinding storage such that an end that is a tape outside end during the pre-rewinding storage is turned into a tape inside end and an end that is a tape inside end during the pre-rewinding storage is turned into a tape outside end, and a magnetic tape control device including a rewinding control unit that transmits rewinding execution information, and a drive unit that receives the rewinding execution information and starts running of a magnetic tape stored in a state of being wound around a reel to execute rewinding of the magnetic tape.

The present disclosure generally relates to a tape embedded drive having a plurality of feedthrough connectors. The feedthrough connectors are symmetrically placed within the tape embedded drive such that regardless of whether an even or odd number of feedthrough connectors are present, the feedthrough connectors are symmetrical about a centerline of the tape embedded drive. In such a layout, the tape embedded drive is more stable due to symmetrical mass balance. Additionally, the tape embedded drive is more cost effective to produce.
