I certainly recall a Facebook video showcasing their bluray archival system. I was seriously impressed by the whole setup. And here we are archiving to LTO like primitives :)
- jolmg 7y agoEven with BDXL, which seems to be able to store up to 128GB per disc, you'd have to stack 100 of them to store the 12TB that an LTO-8 tape cartridge can store raw/natively. Tape cartridges also seem to be more physically durable than optical discs. This doesn't mean that they seem simply superior, though. I imagine optical discs have way better seek times, for example, even if read/write speeds are better with tape.
