I wondered this too so asked around and was told that yeah they are skill tapes and you get them from high level npc's mostly (nightsisters for example) also check your galaxy forums. Though personally i've hunted NS for 3 days in a row now and not even had 1 single skill tape, crystals drop like rain from a cloud but no tapes.....

I'll try and explain...
At master swordsman your speed is +75 from the skill boxes that you have picked up. When you use a standard 6.0 speed PowerHammer, you will do x damage every x seconds. In order to "cap" on speed.. which basically means you will be hitting your target every 1 second, you need an additional 20 speed (+95). you get the speed from clothing attachments or armor attachments.. equip whatever you put them into, and in your Ctrl S, skills you'll see something like "2 hand melee speed +75 (+95)" that would mean you have +20 additional speed.
The average damage per second with my PH is around 4k.... so you can imagine thats pretty nice when taking down mobs. For example... a NS elder used to take around 20-30 minutes uncapped.. now its around 5 mins or so.
I've never managed to loot a 2 hand speed plate/tape... i had to buy mine. A cheaper solution for you is to pick up master brawler (if you have the skill points), and then you get +5 2hand (+ intim2 and a KD which are excellent)... then you only need +15... expect to pay around 15-25million for +15 though
