In the film industry, long term storage of digital films is a real issue. Disney still creates a technicolor (3strip) copy of their films as digital data isn’t as reliable as good old silver emulation.

Depending on necessary speed, Tape Drives fit that use case pretty well. This feels like it could be a slight improvement on that format, but it’ll entirely depend on density

For sure. Also, if the density is sufficiently high compared to alternatives, it could be objectively better anyway. For instance, a typical SSD is rated for less than 1000 full write cycles. So if I have a write-once media with more than 1000 times the space, I’ll be able to write more to it even in the worst-case scenario.

Huh, pair that with some quality memory for indexing and it would be a pretty good home backup device

All you need is an electron beam microscope. Simple home setup. I don’t see this coming to home users in the near and semi- near future.
