New 500 gig disk


Recommended Posts

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). :/

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.

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?..

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