TDK Develops 100GB Blu-ray Disc
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 PM
"TDK has developed a prototype Blu-ray Disc that can store twice as much data, and record it at twice the speed, as existing Blu-ray Discs. The disc, unveiled at a TDK exhibition in Tokyo this week, can record data at 72 megabits per second, double the 36 mbps rate for current Blu-ray Discs. TDK increased the write speed by using a more powerful laser and making some changes to the material of the disc's recording layer, says Nobuyuki Koike, a spokesperson for TDK. To achieve the higher capacity, TDK added two additional recording layers to the disc to take it up to four layers. Blu-ray Disc stores 25GB on each recording layer and the standard currently includes single layer and dual layer versions."
Yea, yea.... 100GB is very nice, but how about working with each other to figure out a "standard"? Still 100GB on an optical disc blows my mind away. I'd buy it. :lol:
