According to a new report, Fujifilm will have 1TB optical discs by 2015. The company has developed a new recording method that can reach 25GB per layer, with double sided discs between up to 20 layers. Current Blu-rays offer the same capacity per layer (25GB) but only go as high as 100GB for special Blu-ray XL discs. Fujifilm will look to commercialize the technology by 2015. The ...

I wonder if it is that new holodisk technology?

Originally posted by ZippyDSM:Alright, but why just end at flash memory when you can make other memory advancements. I rather have all the doors open.

Ya but blu ray is practically useless for backing up stuff on, so will this new disc system.
Originally posted by ThePastor:You could say that about all new tech, however, in due time it gets cheaper.
Yeah, I'm thinking "What's the purpose"?
I never even got a Bluray burner.
In order for it to be useful it would have to be very cheap, like CD, and you know it won't be. It will require a new $250 burner and each disk will cost $75, and 1/3 of the disks you burn won't work.
Originally posted by DXR88:Meh graphite/carbon will replace it soon enough on that kind of grand scale.

i think we need to stop looking at silicon as a magical way to make electronics, after all piss of the wrong parts of the world and your country may find itself paying 10 grand a kilobyte like its the 1960's.
Originally posted by deucezulu22:The trouble is its not happening fast enough thus why old tech hard drives are almost better/cheaper for data storage.

Originally posted by ddp:True but unlike then you have data so large that its out paced disc based consumer development.
1st dvd burners for computers were $1000+ when they 1st came out, now you can get them for about $30.
Originally posted by ThePastor:My hope is that the commercial industry will be able to use these to produce full TV seasons of programs on one disc, instead of requiring multiple Blu-rays.

Originally posted by ZippyDSM:Let's see...a blank bluray costs under a buck for 25GB...so no, flash memory isn't cheap enough...when it costs 2-3 times as much per GB it might be, but with the slow rate of price reduction and the possibility of 1TB+ optical disks, that might be a very long time.

Originally posted by DVDBack23:I was hoping that for Bluray...at least with older shows. Instead they upscaled everything to BD resolutions so they took just as much space. I'm guessing that these 1TB disks will be useful for 3D UltraHD content...and they will probably just upscale all the old stuff to 3D UltraHD so the 10-disk box set remains 10 disks.

Originally posted by KillerBug:Flash no normal hard drives yes. Still I just do not see the need for a new disc format.

Originally posted by Interestx:Perhaps but we still have another 10-15 years of normal physical storage for media so we will see at least 1 more optical disc format, maybe even 2 before streaming is the standard delivery method..
This is about as likely as the commercial sale of CDs & DVDs with more than 1 or 2 layers.
That has been possible for years but nobody ever tried selling them (and the burners etc).
Outside of Japan who bothered with Blu-ray XL?
Hell, look at how Blu-ray as a recordable media has failed to attract users - and so misses out on the economies of scale which would be reflected in blank BD prices, BD 50 prices are laughable nevermind anything larger.
(and in case anyone is wondering I do have a BD burner but hardly ever use it, hard drives are just that much more convenient)
Personally I think optical media is dead, 16gb flash is dirt cheap, 32gb flash is cheap and getting cheaper and even the latest 64gb sticks are rapidly going the same way.
They're just too convenient.
Cheap, physically small, reliable, easy to use & offering huge storage.
Originally posted by DXR88:128GB flash = 70$
cheap isn't exactly a plus for flash media besides until 64gb can be had for 5 bucks, ill keep archiving to Blue Ray. if i were to back up every thing i own it would be dame near 20 terrabytes at least. that would be a trunk full of flash drives you cant label because there too dame small.
Originally posted by ZippyDSM:Harddrives are no good for archiving for long periods of time, there's a reason companies still use tape drives to backup records.

1.25TB Blu ray= 50$
2TB Hard drive= 100$

Originally posted by DXR88:Meh if you use them as an archive that's rarely used they will last for 10 years or longer. Which is longer than my burnt DVD collection lasted :P
