Default [Engadget]20 layered Blu-Ray=500gb
Quote:
Now here's a rate of progress we could get used to. Nary a month after Pioneer trumpeted a 400GB Blu-ray Disc, out pops another press release from the firm boasting about a 500 gigger with a score of layers. Based on research at its Tokyo headquarters, specifications have been drafted for an incredibly capacious 500GB BD. Granted, this very company already had plans for a 500GB optical disc nearly four years ago, but there's no time like the present to make this stuff a reality, right?

I guess this could be useful for backups. No more multiple discs

Could be great for backing up your entire hard drive. xD
And then some

But i doubt the write/read speeds would be that great.

I dont think Read/Write speeds really matter when you can buy 500GB for a couple bucks. Plus, Set it and Forget it overnight if you are backing up.

I was just thinking the same thing. PS3 games would take FOREVER to load lol. I could go get a shower, mow the lawn and go rob a bank, and by the time i get back it could still be loading.

Serisouly though, that is massive, and I don't know why it would be necessary other then to do back up data.

BTW, how thick is this thing? lol

So you buy a few of those and back avery single bit of data onto them.....and then your 3-year old son finds your 500gb backup disks and decides to play fetch with the family dog.....
