I really don't care until I can buy one. In the meantime I have a few hdd's and an old LTO4 drive...
Article says the glass plates can only be written once, so don't toss out your hdd just yet
They could replace WORM storage, and since the person you responded to mentioned LTO, WORM may be possible with their data set since LTO is traditionally used for backups
