Wow thats gonna have to cost like £250 +, but a great idea though

yeh have you looked at the site

read write acces times would most likely suck

Yep i did do i wonder if anyone would buy it though and plus would it even be a RW one

Maybe if you use X-Ray beams to burn on the disks..or even gamma ray but gama ray disks would have waaaaaaaaaaay more capacity than a TB.

There have been many threads like this before, a while back, its old news really... its pretty interesting though... they're going to cost loads when they first go on market, I mean, the writers will be like .

The last thread about this was about blu-ray which is only some gigabytes.
And yeah i think the burners will be a bit expensive like the DVD burners were but give it sometime. The blank disks i dont think will be exensive

The future of DVD is still unclear, but what is certain is that a replacement is already needed and looked upon. And the favorite candidates seem to be Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. But things are far from being settled yet, as far as these two formats are concerned.

A real battle or beforehand publicity?

Although it will take a while till they become largely accessible - probably towards the end of 2005, but most likely in 2006 - the formats believed to replace the DVD generated several debates and the last CES (Consumer & Electronics Show) only proved that the two discs are really at war.

Besides, if you're looking for information on Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, the first data you are most likely to obtain would be who's backing one format or the other, or who is undecided yet. Oh, and maybe the promised storage capacity for each format.

If you're to confide in this data, then Blu-Ray promises 25 GB for single-layer and 50 GB for dual-layer, compared to HD-DVD's 15 GB for single-layer and 30 GB for dual-layer, and it's backed by the most important audio-video entertainment and IT companies, so we have a winner... Then why is there a battle, and, most importantly, is it really necessary?

The answer is yes! The battle is inevitable, and it's not necessary about who is going to sell more units or who is going to get more popular, it's about information control.
