Pioneer unveils 400GB Blu-ray disc

[NIGHTMARE]

400 GB Blu-Ray




Everyone that frequents the site knows that I absolutely love Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray related technology. Well today, Pioneer announced that the company has produced a 16 layer Blu-Ray disc that is capable of holding 400 GB of information. This is absolutely amazing. Imagine what can be done with this type of storage capacity! Full details of the accomplishment are expected to be released next week at the symposium that will be held in Hawaii for optical memory and storage.


Can you imagine a 400 GB game? I’m sure Kojima or Square Enix could. Based on initial reports these discs can be used in older players via a firmware update. I wonder if we’ll ever see the day that a 400 GB Blu-Ray is used for a game or a movie on a PS3. I surely hope so. With the read speeds of Blu-Ray drives increasing steadily, there could be use for this type of storage in computers for sure. Maybe the use of more storage and different arrangements of data could allow for fewer mandatory installs.Everyone that frequents the site knows that I absolutely love Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray related technology.

It gets better and better.
This will compete against the 1Tb disks as the technology will be cheaper if the commercial 1Tb emerges.

Imagine how much movies, porn, games etc you can burn away...a lot I say!


PS4 will have huge games if they use the BR tech and it will not be as expensive as in the current situation. Talking about technology that has a long way to go and a long time to take before it is obsolete.

^^no I didn't.

16 layers
400 GB

and if it gets one big scratch???

I wonder how they will run data verification on the discs after burning

[Power UP]

400gb sounds impressive.

But instead they should also increase performance and speed proportionately,

or will end up bottlenecking the pc like our current hard disks

^^I hope it doesn't take a week to burn it.
