I think really the only way this would be a workable solution for most cases would be to use it in a RAID type setup with striping and parity or something similar. That's just horribly slow and the read-back isn't a whole ton better either.
To me this seems like the main use case would be long term archival storage. It wouldn't be useful for operational data. But like say you just started archiving all the scientific papers, so what if it takes a few years to finish. It's the end product that counts here.
