How about those new CD players that use an blue laser.Blue diode lasers are REALY REALY expensive.Or do you think they went to the high voltage nitrogen laser.(I dont hink it can thurn on/off fast enugh)
Yeah that is the new up and coming technology. By using a blue laser you can pack sooo much more information on a CD (because of the wavelength of red as compared to blue).
Also, I have a friend here that is working on storing optical data on a CD differently (not in the circular manner that it's currently done but in matrix form). He said that would increase the typical CD storage to something on the order of 25 - 30 GB. Though, he said it wouldn't be available for 10 years.
lol 25 - 30 gig in 10 years ? dead tech then!
They're already working on a MODS disk wich could hold 1 Terabyte (1000 gig!) on the physical size of a DVD...
I hope the game makers wont make full use of this.(I dont think of downloading an 1000Gb game LOL)
Blue lasers wil have to get cheaper by then.(I wodnt buy such an drive if it costed $3000)
They say blue light can be focused in an much smaler point than Infrared(used in todays CD drives)and therefore achive an higher densety.
I seen a guy stick a bunch of harddrives in a PC to get 2TB(2000GB) of storage.I download all kinds of stuff and i cant get an 140GB disk full.(what wod i do whith 2TB lol)
an 1 TB CD is a bit of an overkill.I mean what yre you going to fill it up whith.
Well, Television series use up quite a lot of DVD's
Stargate SG1 is 5 DVD's for 1 season, and i currently have 8 seasons so
That's 40 Discs already for 1 show...
Do the math
PS: I BOUGHT them all, they're official DVD's
but if there would be a 1 terabyte disk, i could copy all of it onto 1 disc and that would make watching a whole lot easyer...
