Endless Paradigm

TDK has recently revealed a new 10-layer Blu-ray disc capable of 320GB of storage in development.

According to TDK, to quote: "It is possible to write and read data on and from the disc by using a blue-violet semiconductor laser with an oscillation wavelength of 405nm and an objective lens with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.85, which are currently used for the Blu-ray disc."

This has been a trend in newer, higher-capacity Blu-Ray discs. Due to the proliferation of Internet connections everywhere and firmware being written to non-volatile (update-able) chips, it means that our PlayStation 3 consoles may simply be a firmware update away from reading these 10-layer behemoths of Blu-ray discs.

I think when BluRay was rolled out it was "theory".

This is a supposed disk in development so that much is progress.

I don't even want to THINK how much it would cost for ONE of those..

People are always announcing theyve developed new disk sizes, capacities, types



Show me one and ill believe it this time

ive never even seen a blu-ray disc yet xD

but that's crazy large... wthell would you need 320gb on a single disc for :/
