>"But what use is 100GB nowadays"?
Yes, 100GB is a limitation. But there are a number of use-cases for which this technology might represent a viable solution. That's the only reason I shared the information.

Every optical disc player in the world -- is an M-disc player. That's the beauty of it. You probably have 4 'players' in your house right now. If fact, I would argue that in 100 years, you'll have a much easier time finding an optical drive -- than an LTO drive.
As I wrote, although M-DISCs need to be burned in a compatible drive (many, if not most, recent burners are M-DISC compatible) -- they can be 'played' in any other disc player in the world.

Even LTOs at a few TBs barely cover the job. You'd need 30 M-Discs to handle one LTO tape.
Then you have the consideration of players in the future. LTO has a history and a forward plan. Good chance there will be LTO drives around in 100 years. Can the same be said for M-disc players? Its not all about the medium.
