1Terabyte DVDs
| Quote: |
| Lucas Mearian at ComputerWorld has a story about a company that plans to demonstrate a new DVD-format at the January CES conference. The .6mm thick disc stores 500GB of data by writing 5GB of data on each of 100 layers within a polymer material similar to Plexiglass. The Israel-based company, Mempile Inc., said its TeraDisc DVDs will offer 1TB of storage for consumers in the next few years, but it's also targeting corporate data archive needs with the new technology that write bits at the molecular level on the florescent-colored polymer. The company plans to sell its first product, a 700GB disc for $30. |

Heck, I'd settle for affordable 1TB HDDs right now.... 6x500GB HDDs generate a lot of heat and take up a lot of space in my case. |

well this kind of technology is long over due ... flash memory is taking off in leaps and bounds, storage memory like CDs and DVDs have died in the arse.
i go out shooting and fill an 8gb memory card, and i need 2 dvds to back it up to non-volatile storage. what a jip!
even a consumer DVD with 10 or 20gig capacity would be useful. |
