TDK is working on a Monster 200GB Blu-Ray Disc Bluray Consortium - Apr 12, 2006
TDK doing research on 200GB Blu-Ray Disc Technology
TDK confirmed that it's working on a 200GB Blu-ray disc. To give you an idea how large 200GB is, that's four times the capacity of the largest first-generation dual-layer Blu-ray blanks that are just about to be released worldwide. TDK already showed a next-generation four-layer Blu-ray disc with 100GB of storage in May of last year.
No target date was given for the release of these larger-capacity discs, but the announcement does remind us of one thing: this Blu-ray format can scale up to some mind-boggling capacities. Impressive. You could back up your entire hard drive on one of these things.
We can not wait until these products hit the market, for once we are moving ahead of typical human needs (well at least for movies). At 200GB we can store up to 50 movies on a single DVD, which also means you can loose 50 movies in a single instance! So becareful! Source: TDK
