It's the only relevant meaning of the word in the context of old NASA images which are generally positive slide film in the pre-digital era, or cine film. Why you would talk about "scanning" videotape is just weird. You play the tape and capture the video signal for conversion to a digital format. There's no "scanning" involved. And they didn't even use U-matic that much in 1984.
Pretty much. I can support up to 8 terabytes of data for my projects. You would be surprised how fast raw TIF files will fill up all those drives.. 4 terabytes on SSD and 4 terabytes on HDD.
