I am not so sure about copying to disk being that much faster than tape.
May sound like heresy but I think you'll find people who have kick butt
tape drives like LTO3 and above agreeing they are MUCH faster than DVD and
faster than some experiments with virtual tape.

And you're right about SSD's having write limitations before failure. And,
as you've said, they do put some extra space in there you can't get to for
replacement of such. Probably unrelated but it didn't take long before
our first SSD had to be replaced. Makes you wonder how such an item could
have a hardware failure.
