You do know its much safer and much more highly available to store it in a cloud rather than a piece of plastic, right?
In a cloud you get it raided on multiple sites, etc… obv. Depends on how much you pay.
Dont forget that CDs in their best of best conditions had a lifetime of merely 10 years. Dont know how much this new media holds with such density…
If you have like 1-2 petabytes of data to upload to amazaon, sure, they have that special truck you can use. Otherwise, 200tb, i think it would be faster to upload it rather than travel to their offices.
And dont forget its only going to get even faster. Whilst the media isnt going to get bigger at the same rate.
I think its still usless imo.
200TB, I can literally put this in a single S3 bucket.
Physical media in my opinion is outdated.
Unless you physical control your media, you don’t own your data.
Why store data on media when you can pay the price of a sizable mortgage payment for someone else to store it for you?

And you do own the data, read the contracts.
You can give it to Amazon, so physical media is useless? Seriously?
I do see flaws with this much data density on an optical disc, mainly physical damage, but physical media will always have it’s place.

Whatever happened to actually keeping your own data instead of entrusting a megacorporation which puts profit over everything else with it.
