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