TDK working on 200GB Blu-ray disc

Published by Admin on 14.4.06 at 4/14/2006 03:37:00 PM.

TDK this week confirmed its plan to develop a Blu-ray disc with a storage capacity of 200GB. Let's put that into perspective - how big is the hard drive in the PC or laptop you're currently using? It's around three times the size of the storage available on my current machine.

If successful, the company's R&D team will produce a disc with four times the capacity of today's biggest BDs and double the size of protoype next-generation BD-Rs TDK has already shown off. TDK unveiled a 100GB prototype in May 2005, which contained four data-storage layers, is recordable and supports a write speed of up to 216Mbps, double that of 50GB BD-Rs. Link
