7 TB glass storage media is now faster to write and "could last 10,000 years."

    Presumably you can store the glass in a metal case with some padding? It’s not gonna be much more fragile than a hard drive.

      Some current HDD platters are already made of glass or ceramic.

      I would think it’s just not made for portable use but for storing data at a data center
