- hartley, on 05/22/2009, -3/+53Yeah I've heard this same BS story for years.
Call me when its in production, or it actually works. - Nudar, on 05/22/2009, -2/+24Why are they calling it a DVD? That refers to a very specific technology that fits 4.7 GB per layer on a disc.
- Junelor, on 05/22/2009, -1/+20It's over 9000 GB
- sheldonwilson, on 05/22/2009, -1/+20It's gonna be great to lose 10TB of information to a hairline scratch!
- codyman, on 05/22/2009, -7/+26512k of ram is still fine by me - don't know why anyone wou(message_truncated)
- mrpunman, on 05/22/2009, -2/+20I would love to see my porn on a 10 TB DVD
- vishnumittal, on 05/21/2009, -3/+19amazing 1.6TB of data per disc!
- enzobot24, on 05/22/2009, -1/+13What's the transfer speed gonna be like?
Because 10TB would be mighty annoying to sift through on a red laser. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -6/+17Coming much later... 10 TB of stuff actually worth putting on it.
- AmusedToDeath, on 05/22/2009, -1/+11Yes, he was at work when he wrote the comment.
- Chris_F, on 05/22/2009, -1/+11Still ends up being the equivalent to a DVD or Bluray. Hell if I'm going to spend $60 on a 10TB disk that takes 600 hours to burn, just to have it buffer underrun at the last minute.
Seriously, holographic technology is the only logical next step. - ronindigg, on 05/22/2009, -1/+11and every scartch will make you lose a gigabyte..
- AlanCayce, on 05/22/2009, -1/+10"The team was able to store 1.6TB of data on a disk with the technology." - It works!
Whats your number? - robertisaar, on 05/22/2009, -2/+10you look at the girl's face???
- daPhoenix, on 05/22/2009, -2/+10And they have holographic disks already in use bladiblaablaa.
Same <cuss> on Digg all the time - here comes new and improved technology X that can make monkeys fly into space and beyond and we never hear anything about it afterwards. Much of the 'new tech hype' is just people trying to get more investors to pour money into their indifference projects. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -7/+15Yes ..and im sure 5 years later there will be a disk that can store 50x that much...but until it hits the shelf i couldnt give a ***** less.
- A11YND, on 05/22/2009, -1/+8Stop making this ***** story to the ***** front page! It's been here 3 ***** times in the last 2 days.
- phosphor112, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7Slow..that's why its impractical...
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/22/2009, -2/+8Flash technology might as well just be revamped for a wave of new data storage on the nanoscopic level.
- yurimxpxman, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7Store enough porn to never have to see the same girl's face ever again.
- PandaBearShenyu, on 05/22/2009, -2/+7He probably bought one of those USB HD DVD things for his 360, then one day, while playing gears of war on his 360, his brother's PS3, which is located in the same compartment as the 360, mysteriously turned on by itself and started ejecting massive amounts of heat, killing the 360 within seconds, it didn't stand a chance.
From them on, meed has embarked on a personal crusade for BAS (Boys against Sony) - phosphor112, on 05/22/2009, -3/+8Either that or atleast do this with bluray, while it is still catching on, so by the time it is sold as a standard, it will be out, not to mention they can get more space into it. You are going to need new hardware for this "DVD type disc" to read and write with the whole polarization thing going on. I don't see why people are doing research in older technology. It's like saying "hey, I can fit 5 DVD's on a VHS"...mk? So you want me to buy new hardware based on old hardware to use 10TB of data at a slow data rate?
ATLEAST improve data speeds before increasing the size.
Putting 1 librarian to search through a few unorganized book shelves is bad enough.
Why put that same single librarian against a full library? It would take a long time. - regularsteven, on 05/22/2009, -1/+6great - is this gonna be another 'format wars'?
- Brandoskey, on 05/22/2009, -2/+7looks like someone chose the wrong hd format and is a sour-puss about it
- Gerz1219, on 05/22/2009, -1/+6My question is, what content manufacturer is ever going to want to sell 300 full-length movies on one disc? We're not getting anything better than HD in the next 20 years, and the studios don't want to sell physical media anymore, they want pay-per-view streaming content. Putting lots of content on a single disc would only devalue the content, as consumers would irrationally be less willing to pay huge amounts of money for something in small packaging.
In theory, Fox could sell every season of The Simpsons on one disc and it would cost them about $1 to produce. But nobody's going to pay $500 for that single disc, even if they would be willing to spend more than that buying individual box sets. - xino, on 05/22/2009, -2/+7I'm guessing some of the most hardcore porn fantatics are digging you down while thinking "This guy or girl is an idiot for thinking 10TB of porn is a lot, but in reality that was a lot 5 years ago. Where has this guy or girl been?"
- dlan4327, on 05/22/2009, -0/+4I'm surprised this comment is only on +2 diggs. Generic porn comments on articles about data storage usually go down well.
- dmuldia, on 05/22/2009, -0/+4how is 10TB equal to 10,000 times 4.7GB?
- jackstcliveblog, on 05/22/2009, -4/+8Then, I can put a lot of stuffs inside!
- vheissu, on 05/22/2009, -1/+5Yeah, this has been just around the bend for years now...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_3D - ihatediggcom, on 05/22/2009, -2/+6it will happen eventually sure, there's no question about it.
how soon is the only question. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -0/+4Writing to disk.
Finish in... 7hrs 45min - Acqua206, on 05/22/2009, -0/+4What the ***** ever. I've seen these X gigabytes per disc stories at least once a week for the past 3 0r 4 years.
- muzza001, on 05/22/2009, -1/+5old news
- Tddupre, on 05/22/2009, -1/+515 years down the line we will be laughing at this
- Zetsubou, on 05/22/2009, -1/+4Not in this decade it ain't.
- meghalc, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3eh, its still not going to be enough for those people wanting the super extreme ultra resolution videos...
- MedicalMatt, on 05/22/2009, -3/+6submitted this days ago: http://digg.com/tech_news/1_6_tb_dvds
- regularsteven, on 05/22/2009, -3/+6depends on the write speed, you doosh
- ajsmth, on 05/22/2009, -1/+4HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
- Chrysalii, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3you mean like how betamx killed the vhs
or how minidisc reigns supreme
or how their memory cards killed compact flash
or how .aac wiped .mp3 off the map
and now blu-Ray has killed DVD and prevented digital downloads from getting anywhere....I need to stop getting history lessons from Sony. - PandaBearShenyu, on 05/22/2009, -1/+4what'll they do if no one will support it though? Unless they strap that disc onto all PS4s, it'll be really hard to justify why you'd need 10 terabytes storage one disc.
- Suricou, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3This would revolutionise piracy. Imagine discs with 200 HD films being traded in schools and offices around the world. I used to exchange stacks of CDs with anime on, and before that it was floppy disks holding gameboy roms (Circa the Great Pokemon Fad), but these disks would take that to a new level.
- robertisaar, on 05/22/2009, -1/+4lets assume you can pull 25MB/s off of the hard drive and get it onto the disk that fast.
i'm not too sure of my math here but:
thats 10485760 megabytes
/25 for 25MB/sec transfer rate thats 419430.4 seconds
/60 for figuring out how many minutes: 6990.5066666666666666666666666667
/60 for figuring out hours: 116.50844444444444444444444444445
/24 for figuring days: 4.8545185185185185185185185185188
so it would take almost 5 days to fill it completely...
i hope the transfer rates are a lot faster than 25MB/sec
and its douche, when you insult someone, you should at least be able to spell the intended words correctly - xino, on 05/22/2009, -1/+4Local storage is actually useful. For instance, I go to my friend's house who can't get high speed Internet. Another example is console games on disc. You can move them from system to system without an Internet connection. Then let's say you hit the bandwidth cap set by your ISP, local storage is handy there too. Cloud computing is nice, but will never be able to have the advantages that local storage has over cloud computing and the opposite is true as well which means neither of them are going to make the other less important over time.
That reminds me of this OnLive service we are supposed to see this year. Many of us hate how bad DRM is on some games. This OnLive service is going to be way more restrictive than any thing we've seen so far and this service and services like this will never get better in terms of how restrictive they are because you can't copy streaming games. - MrZaiko, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3This remind me of a 250MB floppy disk that never really caught on...
- melonhedd, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3These aren't DVDs.
- Churnd, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3And it'll take a week to burn... with lots of coasters in the process. :)
- Llanowar, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3Same thing I was thinking.
Through the years I've heard about one technology after another that would make for extreme storage.
And while storage certainly has go up, I have yet to see that magical dvd which holds terrabytes, or the hard drives which can hold 1 million terrabyte.
I doubt it will be here anytime soon. And once it's finally here it won't be at any reasonable costs for any time soon. - unluckier, on 05/22/2009, -0/+3Only the ComputerWorld article and the submitter call it a DVD. The original article does not:
