A tape guide for use with a data storage tape system including a read/write head. The tape guide includes a bearing portion and a tape interface portion extending from the bearing portion. The tape interface portion is configured to support a data storage tape near the read/write head. Upon longitudinal movement of the data storage tape across the tape interface portion, the tape guide limits a spectral content of data storage tape lateral movement measured at the read/write head to less than 0.1 mum at lateral movement frequencies between 50 and 500 cycles/meter.
