So am I wrong to say this is a stone tablet hard drive? Doesn't seem like you can overwrite data on it

Yeah, looks like write once. Which, we got a lot of mileage out of CD-Rs, libraries are useful.

I would even argue most storage is used as write once storage. From backup systems to libraries, a lot of data is data we want to just record, and never overwrite.
