New 1TB Disc In Development

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Recently I posted that Pioneer have developed an optical disc that can store 400 GB worth of data but now scientists in the US have apparently created an 1 Terabyte optical disc which store’s all the discs data in 3D. The scientists announced that they have found a way to create hundreds of layers on a single optical disk, with each layer containing around 5GB of data.

The Californian scientist even claim they could create up to 5TB optical disks by using 405nm diodes to record a Blu-ray disc’s worth of data at around 25GB per layer.

There is no sign when this new technology will be available but hopefully its not to far away as i would love my whole DVD movie collection to be on 1 disk, with room to spare.
