In this series, we will explore the next generation storage media that are just around the corner and will bring enormous storage capacity to everyday user. A 1 TB HDD isn’t enough and is slow, the DVD can’t bring HD and flash drives provide meager storage capacity at large costs. So, what are the solutions? This week we bring you the latest is optical disc storage.
We’ve all seen it. The bitter fight around the Blu-ray and HD DVD and we all know who won the race. But, are we ready for the next generation? Laser based optical storage media has been around forever. If somebody told you that a laser based storage medium is revolutionary, then he is wrong.
