Got an authoritative cite for that?  As far as I know, AWS has never made a
statement as to what it is using, however the most educated-sounding guess
I've read is that they're using some sort of write-once, archival-quality
BluRay disks (based on the fact that some non-trivial percentage of the
world's BR production gets bought by Amazon).
