The Electronic Media
Friday, February 4th, 2011Musicians Mavens and other electronic media have an insatiable appetite for data storage. Digital audio is consuming more and more like sampling rates and bit depths increase, and high-definition video is a real fact of rice. Hard drives and memory semiconductor getting cheaper all the time, but what on optical discs? The best we currently have Blu-ray, 25 GB per layer and a maximum of two layers. Even when the layers become more possible, the capacity of a Blu-ray is capable of output up to 100 or 200 GB.
Although recent research, General Electric a sign, the next generation of optical disc that will exceed the limit is. GE Scientists have a new material that holographic data, a single disk the size of a DVD or Blu Ray on the 500 GB capacity can be stored under developed. Is equal to 20 single-layer capacity of the Blu Ray or DVD, is more than 100 Singlelayer. And even better, GE can be written and read optical disk system, which is very similar to read / write technology.
