While apparently not the fabled cube, in a Jeff Harrow newsletter, 
either _The_Rapidly_Changing_Face_of_Computing_ or the _Harrow_Report_, 
sometime a few years ago told of a LAB that recorded several terabytes 
of data on a roll of standard cellophane tape, and was able to retrieve 
the data.

It used lasers.  I do not remember what the estimate was for a viable 
product, or the costs.

I do not know of any Terabyte single disks out there.  There are several 
vendors selling raid arrays that will simulate a Terabyte disk.
