Top Spec

So we have Blu ray at 50Gb, but wait! Pioneer has developed a 16 layer (read only) optical disc with a capacity of 400 gigabytes! The laminated technique disk has 16 layers with 25gb within each sandwich.

Pioneer has managed to reduce cross talk data transmission loss which has caused limited movement in massive DVD storage. Look what happened to data transfer methods of serial and parallel. We use Serial now due to the fact parallel running at high frequency will cause cross talk.

Each layer of the disk has identical specifications and characteristics to the Blu-ray disk standard. This will hopefully in theory support backwards compatibility.

Pioneer will present the details on the International Symposium on Optical memory and Optical Storage 2008 in Hawaii July 13.
