  I know what you meant. It's just that a cylindrical surface is not the
most efficient nor cost-effective. It wasn't even back in the beginning of
the last century when the cylinders vs. disc format war was going on (and
why the cylinders lost early on).

  It's unlikely that storing formats will go back to that.
