    Seems the researcher’s concept is to have data on both sides of the disc and have it sitting in a datacenter. I don’t really buy the use case.

      I’ve worked for companies backing up 100s of petabytes a year on tape. This is audit and log data they are required to keep as well as business data.

      If these discs are significantly cheaper than tape, then there’s your use case.
