New 500 gig disk

[idoia]

yep, the real question would be: how many days would it take to burn one of those disks?

:o

[ventrox]

WOW

i want that soooo much :p

[leesmithg]

Should be able to replace HD's then.

Just wonder how much 1 disk would cost? Darn if you make a burn error.

Most expensive flower pot grip on the planet.

This seems to be the trend lately, but I guess the plus is they wont be using a laser anything better than a uv laser..

But its good to hear that we are gonna get some really large capacity disks, the problem I forsee is having a drive that could use them all (without having 3 kinds of laser). :/

[allfive6]

how much ?

[Thief Theory]

[BigCheese]

Isn't there a type of holographic disc the same size as a CD/DVD that holds 1TB?

[Matt]

think of all the pr0n and w4r3z you could fit onto the disk ::laugh: jk :shifty:

Things like this always seem to be perpetually 3 to 5 years away. :(

It would be great to go from 25/50GB rewritable Blu-Ray discs straight to this though.

*got this from ebay last year*

I wish :(

Now the questions are:

How much is it?

[golazo]

[Klownicle]

All these companys are releaseing press about these mamoth discs, where they just keep making more and more different sizes different speeds, its gonna be +/- all over again.

Mmmm, this removable disk is only 6.375 times bigger than my hdd.. :D

Because HD-video 1920x1080i compressed in MPEG4 takes about 100 mb per minute, MPEG2 even more of that...

I have a bunch of moves and music videos recorded from HDTV and they take alot of space :blink:

ok so 3,5*60*100 = 21000

21000/1000 = 21gigs.(per 3.5 hours)

so it can store over 80 hours according to that.. huh?..

[JakeM741]

I wonder if its re-writable :o

[j.r.l.]

I'd like to see disks that big. I wonder if the read/write speed will be high enough so we can mount it and use it as a harddrive... :whistle:

I think they were talking about uncompressed video because HD-DVD and BluRay have:
