Tapes are a great archival medium, they have a very low cost per gb, and are able to be stored for decades. The only comparable medium is CD and other optical media like Blu-ray.
Hard drives have an expected life span of only around 5 years due to the moving parts, and while flash storage lasts about 10 years.
If I'm reading this right, it isn't even the real numbers they're working with. It's their "proprietary data model."
Might I recommend No Time?
