I was thinking about this the other day.
Would a good solution for /really/ long term storage be a kind of WORM ROM based on fuses that could be burned to 'program' a given area? (I think some EPROM might be this, but I'm talking about more storage density than even current top end flash drives.) Obviously you'd only want to use this for the LONG term storage, but if it's cheep enough I could see it being useful in the same use cases that existing optical media were and even in roles like backup / audit logs.
