300 DVDs on one disc

[Amethyst_Isle]

A new optical recording method could pave the way for data discs with 300 times the storage capacity of standard DVDs, Nature journal reports.



The researchers say this could see a whopping 1.6 terabytes of information fit on a DVD-sized disc.



They describe their method as "five-dimensional" optical recording and say it could be commercialised.............



Their approach used 10-layer stacks composed of thin glass plates as the recording medium. If scaled up to a DVD-sized disk, the team would be able to record 1.6 terabytes - that is, 1,600 gigabytes - or over 300 times the quantity stored on a standard DVD.
