Their road map to denser storage, TB/cm vs GB/cm, mentions tapes. The cartridges make sense since they're essentially cd-roms, CeraTape on the other hand with 10 nanometer coating seems like magic.

> Meanwhile, CeraTape (2030-35) gives away the storage medium type in its name. These data tapes will have a 5 µm thick substrate with a 10 nm thick ceramic coating.

Ceramic film is used in window tinting and seems durable enough. It can stand the rollers and the elements.

I assume the film for storage will be in a protective housing, but even exposed I don't see a problem.
