I think they really need to switch to a different from of Media. Well don't need a disc of 300 Gigs readings at 20 MB per/sec >.>BlaveBrave

ITS NOT FOR GAMING...

Its for professinal use.. as in MOVIE INDUSTRY, COMPANIES!

Want me to spell it out?

I was hoping we would stay with Blu-ray / Digital :(

I think it's funny every time I see this.  Blu-Ray is stored in a digital format (so was DVD and CD, tape formats such as VHS or cassette are analog).  It doesn't make sense to include "Digital" or "download only" because that's not really a format but a method of transferring data.

Funny how everyone thinks Blu Ray movies are uncompressed also.....

Uncompressed 1080p for 90 minutes.... try 300GB.

A new format is totally unnecessary when there's still room for improvement with current Bluray technology - like faster read, write, and larger storage space. A brand-new 300GB base format disc is utterly stupid, not to mention disc is so 2000s. Let's try to figure out how to make SSD technology as cheap as HDD and store everything on flash as that is 100 times faster than disc. Kjranu

I have this for my Nexus 10 (2560 x 1440) and it's about 6-7 GB in size.

[QUOTE="clyde46"] Thats compressed. These will be used for backing up content. clyde46

Oh yeah uncompressed is pretty huge, I used to download video from mini-dv tapes and it took several GB's per file (at a very low quality) and when compressed shrank down to several hundred MB's.

From 80GB, using .h264, it turned into 1.2GB, whilst maintaining a good picture with no digital blocking and artifacts.

blu ray obsolete in 7 years = entire world owned.

That would be nice. Hmm lemme see if Blu-Ray Movies requires a 54Mbps data transfer rate. Would this Disc need a 300 - 400 Mbps data transfer rate? Hmm and what about cooling won't they have issues with that, and is it really needed. I mean dual layer Blu-Ray is what 50GB. Even for professional use. They back up things to severs and external drives. I haven't run into any software needing to take up 50GBs. Hmm I don't know maybe I'm overthinking things.

I hear there is a new technology that allows storage of 100 TB (something ridiculous) on regular DVD9's. It costs a fortune (for the laser) but it's made pretty much any new disc media technology obsolete. That, and with high bandwidths becoming a thing in most first world countries, and streaming technology taking charge, big HDD's is all we'll ever need.foxhound_fox

Lol maybe they compress that data using a mini black hole (Stein's Gate reference)

True, I think the next step will be to get away from Spinning Hardrives and Optical disk to go to Flash Memory.

300gb?

You would think since those technologies are pretty old, but Flash Memory is also pretty old too.

I think Flash Memory advance faster than they other tho, well maybe not HDDs, but Optical Disk for sure.

Also, what happened to the 500GB disc Pioneer developed back in 2008?charizard1605

There was also a 500GB holograhic disc format around out there.

My various facial expressions while watching The Lord of the Rings. Watching it in 4K would be mindblowing.

An I thought wed see the end of optical media soon. Actually, we probably still will.

For games it us already here.  Steam is how most PC games are purchased.  Movies, and music have already moved to dd.

Keep living in the past.  Physical formats are dead the patient just doesnt know it yet.

16 x 1080 = 8k res.

16 x 50GB = 800GB

When they can do that. I'll be happy. I want a 8k TV in the next 5-10 years.

Oh and lets not forget... BR speed.

1x = 1080

1x X 16 = 16x

+ 1x for audio

17x BR disc drive is also needed. Which would be 18x.
