    I’m aware, I’ve done heavy research for my own mass cold archival plans.

    It’s a physics problem is why it lags behind HDDs so much, and to reach that 6TB on optical it’s a cartridge with literal multiple discs inside. Adoption or no, it was never going to reach storage density parity with HDDs. Hell, even SSDs are having a difficult time taking on HDDs storage density

      Optical drives already are surpassing magnetic or even ssd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_data_storage it’s more advanced version of optical drives, for obvious reasons it’s just a prototype and most likely it will stay so for quite a long time but still, optical storage hasn’t reached the limit.
