At least drives in the future may have a healthier MTBF being solid state. When I look at my home systems, I've got ~8TB all up but files that aren't replaceable or retrievable elsewhere would fit on a single CD very easily. |

No special storage is required but obviously you wouldn't use one as a beer coaster and expect your great grandkids to be able to see candid shots of their great grandma afterwards. |

although not compatible with any current players etc, a company called Optware has developed a disc format called HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc) which can theoretically hold 3.9TB of data, so the technology is certainly here right now for very large disc storage. But like a few have said already, for the near future at least, this sort of thing would only be practical for archive storage by industries rather than for home use.
