Scientists Pack Terabytes Onto DVDs

(From TGDaily.com -- By Rick C. Hodgin)

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 5 GB 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.
