1.4Pb (~175TB), the quoted number of movies is based on a 14GB movie which is very small (most BluRay disks hold somewhere between 25 and 50GB) and no discussion about write speed, so basically this is cool research that someone has done and is no closer to a commercial product that any of the dozens of other articles that have come out on this topic in the last 15 years

These aren't really trying to target a commercial product, at least not anyway. For now these are of interest to enterprises.

I could see them being archival backups for TV broadcast, quite a few are still using tapes for long term archive.
