do data recorders/ black boxes use tapes or solid state ?

guys just watching ACI and it seems about +50% of the time information retrieved from black boxes, cockpit recorders etc is useless. Do they use memory/electronic devices for storing voices or is it all tape..? just wondering, i would be amazed if modern aircraft use tape tbh!
