Hitachi unveils 100GB, 200GB Blu-ray discs

Posted Oct 05, 2007 at 07:04PM by Glen D. Listed in: Blu-ray, News Tags: Hitachi

What you see in the image above is a Blu-ray disc, but that's no ordinary Blu-ray disc for you. It's Hitachi's four-layer 100GB Blu-ray put on display at its CEATEC exhibit recently. If you thought the old 50GB Blu-ray packed some serious storage power, this one doubles it. The only thing scarier? You got it: An eight-layer Blu-ray disc which can pack in a whopping 200GB of solid data.

With that kind of storage, entire hard drives could easily be backed up with a single disc, though current writing speeds make the process a pretty tedious one. We're hoping to see more hardware support for today's leading next-generation format.

Now we wait for the technology to mature and become cheaper.

Remember early DVD+R's?, No?. That's because those DVD's are corrupt now.
