Discs are advantageous for backups because they are stackable and can be stored compactly. Current flash-based storage is also prone to corruption over time, hence the need for occasional “bit scrubbing” to make sure the correct bits are written back to the flash memory. When these BDXL blanks have fallen to the point of being a few cents per GB, I think they would be the preferred choice for backups.
