25TB titanium oxide 'super discs' in the works?

Quote:

Japanese researchers have discovered a material that could be used to make low-cost discs with a storage capacity that puts existing storage media to shame. Described as a new crystal form of titanium oxide, the material switches from a black-color metal state that conducts electricity to a brown semiconductor when exposed to light, according to Shin-ichi Ohkoshi of the University of Tokyo. That transformation occurs at room temperature and provides an on-off function for data storage.

25TB titanium oxide 'super discs' in the works? - TechSpot News

wow those tings would be amazing i can't wait to get my hands on some real space for all these torrennts i got.

i am not expecting one of these in the next 8 years.
I dont even know what to do with uneraseable disk with 25TBs.
imho a 25TB-HDD would be good, maybe for 100 $ each.

Thats 5844 DVD5s, thats a whole lota space. Maybe 10 years time? by that time holodisc will be competing with it

whatever it may be, hopefully we can get a higher level of data availability/readability/durability without having to worry about TB's of lost data due to some unexpected external factor or internal malfunction :rolleyes:

That's actually enough to include all of anon's porn.This way he won't buy DVDs anymore

I have a "phobia" from storing on disks (although the hard drive is a disk as well :tongue:) but I mean portable disk because the chances of them getting corrupted or lost are high even if you look after them. However, I could do with a 25TB hard drive

If the disc brakes he I will just pick it up.

Now, if it breaks... that's something different. :lol:

Would you rather carry a 25TB DVD size dics or a micro sd 250GB?

The DVDs, because of the higher storage space. MicroSD cards could be easily lost like tokiodrift1, but I wouldn't be carrying them everywhere... so more space = win-win.
