So it's like a tape library, but for 1Tb optical disks?

I think a tape library still wins. LTO-9 allows 18Tb on one tape (without compression) and LTO-10 is 30/40Tb

And tape is going to be fine, as long as it's kept in reasonable conditions. No need to do clean rooms to store it or anything like that.

The tricky bit, especially for the small operater is keeping a working drive as long as you want to keep the storage.
