TBH DVDs / Blu-Rays are too low density, expensive and labor intensive, and tape drives start at $1000 and most non tech professionals don't know they even exist. 2.5TB of 25 100GB writable BDXL disks cost about $250. A 4TB drive costs $80 and a computer to throw in 3.5" HDDs pretty cheap too.


Blu-Ray (the cheap ones, 25/50 GB) is actually cheaper than tape, if you care for that. But yeah, they are less dense.
