Ok sure, but where's the advanced anti scratch device?
100 layers just means more data lost to a single scratch.
Put it in a case like an old floppy disc.
Believe it or not, first gen DVD-RAM came exactly like this. But manufacturers cheaped out / wanted the drives to be more easily compatible with CDs. So the caddys were scrapped.
Interesting, do you have a link to a picture?
There is one on the Wikipedia page.

Due to the caddy nature I believe there were plans or limited availability of double-sided disks. That would have made it so much more appealing I think.
