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

You don't need to. These are intended for backups and data archiving where storage density matters the most

Seems like thered be some extra hoops to get through for differential backups, impossible to us for most daily applications, probably better suited for things like laboratory and archives..

It looks like you can’t overwrite new data, but you can still punch it full of ones :p

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