Store 1,000 TB on a DVD

[harshilsharma63]

yes you read it right, soon you'll be able to store 1,000 TB on a single DVD; thats equivalent to 50,000 full HD movies!

Our work will greatly impact the development of super-compact devices as well as nanoscience and nanotechnology research.

The exceptional penetration feature of light beams allow for 3D recording or fabrication, which can dramatically increase the data storage – the number of dots – on a single optical device.

The technique is also cost-effective and portable, as only conventional optical and laser elements are used, and allows for the development of optical data storage with long life and low energy consumption, which could be an ideal platform for a Big Data centre.

As the rate of information generated worldwide continues to accelerate, the aim of more storage capacity in compact devices will continue. Our breakthrough has put that target within our reach.

When this technique is publically available, I really hope Digit would still supply 2 or 3 DVDs

Nice.

Nice.

does it work?? not tested yet. Any Pilots here?

checked the link, nothing too interesting or usable here.

What about read/write speed won't it take forever to copy even 1 TB ?

 

[harshilsharma63]

do read the comments.

3D optical data storage was an old tech, but it didn't developed as much as the magnetic storage devices. when people moved to magnetic flash storage devices, manufacturers ditched researches on optical technology. Its glad to see that some are actually interested in bringing out this technology to the masses

A single scratch and the entire 1000 tb gone to waste.. no thx from my side.. Online backup FTW

One of the guy said in thecomments:

With a petabyte to play with you could probably burn the same data multiple times in different CD sectors and lose 90% of the disk to scratches while still maintaining data integrity. 10% of the surface is still 100 terabytes!

And they say disks are dead.

We can store entire movies ever released, in few DVDs.

This is going to take a long time.How many people are using Blu-ray discs as of now?

 

[Zangetsu]

1000TB in DVD..i won't call it a DVD...it should be named higher than BluRay
may be Ultra Ray

This tech is not developed yet, its being worked on. ANd its not aimed at consumers, but more towards data center guys.

I'm still don't viewed any bluray disk and any hd disk in my town and now this is wt ......

nobody is going to mishandle a 1000 TB disc like a Rs 10 DVD

i think Holographic Data Storage would have been an even bigger tech from data storage standpoint, if there were ample investors.

Google "DNA data storage".

Wa...1000TB, awesome.

Hope speeds are better than normal DVDs else it would take ages to burn a DVD.
