Nice but do people still use discs? I feel like hard drives are still a better deal.

Hard drives fail. This is for professional archive storage, not for consumers.

How do they fail exactly? Hard Drives read speed is still faster than discs and they can hold way more data. Discs are kind of obsolete already.
