Post - 500GB DVD's (Sort of, they are the same size)


Finally something that might put magnetic backup tapes in the grave!

Quote:
A group of scientists working together with the Institute of Optics and Optical Technologies at the Technical University of Berlin claim to have discovered a way to store 500GB worth of data on DVD-sized discs. The scientists are members of the Microholas Project, coordinated by Dr. Susanna Orlic, which plans to double the storage capacity to 1TB by 2010.

Die tape DIE!

Wait that was not nice of me, I love backup tapes but they are a bit too fragile with it's magnetic property.
