If the main selling point is that it's non-rewritable, it seems like this could be accomplished with existing storage tech. For example why not have a spinning rust disk with a physical interlock switch to prevent writing? Then the disk could still be manually wiped and reused. For important textual data, burning DVDs should be totally sufficient.
