I have read 30 year old tapes myself. OK, they were not LTO tapes.
Quantum - the biggest LTO supplier, were the people behind DECtape more than 40 years ago.
I cannot read 30 year old H/Ds or most 10 year old CDs. I have considerable difficulty believing that the long life BD stuff will live longer than the company that made the stuff. When the disks start failing, that is the end of the company. And your data.
Lifetime warranty? Yeah I had one on my car battery. When the battery failed the dealer explained "well, it was guaranteed for ITS lifetime, not yours, and now its dead".
