ElectroNUT1978 discovered 23 months ago- This breakthrough tech would be awesome! I can see so many uses for these cartridges already. People could put their home theatre library on a single 5TB cartridge (assuming BluRay is used). Data-heavy industries (such as oil and gas, physics and astronomy, etc...) could realize huge benefits from such technology. Seismic data, for example, could be archived on these cartridges, freeing up storage space previously used for data tapes. This could also allow processing companies that work only with land data to expand out and process marine seismic data as well. The primary stumbling block for marine data is size: marine data are huge! Put marine data on these cartridges and you've got yourself a marine seismic processing centre. Rock on!

- "On April 19, Hitachi Maxell, Ltd. announced the development of new volume optical storage technology that can provide terabyte-level storage capacity in a compact device. Relying on unique nanoimprint technology, the company has succeeded in reducing the thickness of DVDs to 0.092 mm (92 micrometers) -- which is 1/13th the thickness of current DVDs -- while maintaining the standard capacity of 4.7 GB."

- It's cool, but to casual computer users like me, I do fine with 80 gigs. I couldn't ever fill a whole terabyte.

- Interesting to see what Hitachi has done in the optical drive field. I think the article is a bit misleading as a single disc does not promise near a terrabyte however. My real question is if Hitachi has done anything about the current issue of the quality of the medium degrading in under ten years. If this is the case, then it makes it a good candidate for fitting these discs in a case to be used in tape libraries. I believe Quantum has done this already, and while it is neat as it speeds backups up due to the drives having hard drive access speeds, this is not a new concept. Anyone remember Syquest (suck!) or Iomega Jazz drives? Food for thought.
