Throughput is usually a workable problem. Throw in a bunch of these devices and stripe your writes across them - now when you read, you get nice improvements in throughput. Look at ZFS VDEVs for example.
If they are inexpensive, and durable to be considered archival quality, it will find its place.. somewhere between NVME drives and the magnetic tapes.

- thomastjeffery 3y agoSo let's think this through: you have 10 1EB tape drivers in a RAID0. Each drive has a max throughput of 100GB/sec, so the array has a max throughput of 1TB/sec. Congratulations, now you can write 1EB of data to your array in 1.2 days! But what about the other 9 Exabytes? Yeah, it will still take another 114.5 days to even touch that; and that's assuming "GB/s class speeds" means 100GB/s, and not less. You may as well just get 10 100PB disks. There is no point getting extra storage that you will never have time to write to.
