Unfortunately, it's true - the affordable option isn't the one that's going to last. Pretty much the same applies to DVDs.

"Companies, in particular, need to be constantly looking at new storage technologies and have an archiving strategy that allows them to automatically migrate to new technologies [...] Otherwise, they're going to wind up in a dead-end. And for those sitting on terabytes of crucial data, that could be a colossal problem."
