Israel is super Hi-Tech. Another astonishing advancement in technology! - Scientists pack terabytes onto DVDs PDF Print E-mail Hardware By Rick C. Hodgin Tuesday, August 28, 2007 12:47 Recommend article: Slashdot Digg Delicious Technorati YahooMyWeb Jerusalem (Israel) - A company called Mempile has developed a prototype storage device which uses a DVD-like disc capable of eventually storing up to 1 Terabyte worth of data in a semi-transparent disc. It has 200 physical layers of about 5GB each on this disc. That's enough to store more than 250,000 MP3s, 115 full-length DVD movies, or 40 full-length HD movies on each disc. Researchers believe the technology will yield multi-TB discs that could fit in your coat pocket. The process involved in storing data using this media is quite different from traditional CDs or DVDs which uses physically etched pits to represent 1s and 0s. The multi-terabyte process relies on a photochemical reaction which takes place at the focal point of laser. The unique material in use is what allows it to happen. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0a0_1188424498 |
