        On the other hand, data thieves would have a field day, since you would basically have to melt this in a forge to physically erase it.

        It’s actually more for archiving purposes than as system memory. Note the reference to tapes.

      At this density, depending on the price, it wouldn’t be that big a deal even for temporary data. Virtually any data you put on the drive will be Insignificant. You can simply discard the old data, perhaps nulling it out, and continue along.

      You could write the equivalent of current gen SSDs every single day for years and not run out of space.

      I’m assuming these would be more for archival purposes than consumer grade data storage.
