New optical disk offers huge storage | |
|

| Time: 07:25 EST/12:25 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

A Japanese electronics giant has developed an optical disk with a storage capacity of up to 510 gigabytes - or just more than half a terabyte. With its huge storage capacity, Pioneer's 12cm thick silver platter will store the amount of data that would require 100 typical DVDs today. An ultraviolet laser will be used to write to the disk. | ||

I wonder if these require the drive to be very stable. At 70nm, I would think keeping the disc position predictable would be very important.
510 GB only allows 3.5 hours of HD? That's some pretty lousy compression they're using. WMV HD gives better than 2 hours per 10 GB, from what I've read. |
