New optical tech could slash archival costs by 10x or even more Optera Data’s discs could hit 10TB for just $1 - cheaper than tape! The low-power, high-density storage has data centers in mind A ...

CDs, solid state drives, and Blu-ray discs are well suited to handle most general data storage needs, but that increasingly isn’t the case for projects requiring massive amounts of digitized ...

By deploying cutting-edge lasers, scientists at the University of Southampton have achieved a 5D optical data storage breakthrough that offers both incredible density and long-term archiving ...

Toshiba, one of the leading companies behind HD DVD, announces a line-up of products using the rival, and now dominant, Blu-ray technology Written by Larry Dignan, Contributor Aug. 10, 2009, 9:37 ...

Blu-ray and DVD drives are being kicked out of PCs, and finding a new life in data centers as storage that can retain data for up to 100 years.

A group of researchers have created a new type of optical storage device that is the same shape as a DVD or Blu-Ray disc but is capable of storing an incredible amount of data.

Technology '5D' storage could hold 10,000 times more data than a Blu-ray disc An advanced version of the technology used to create DVDs and Blu-rays can store far more data, though it takes a ...

The new system, he explained, uses 10,000 Blu-ray discs at a time to store a petabyte of data.

The team achieved a data density of 25GB per square inch – imagine storing the content of an entire Blu-Ray disc in a space smaller than a postage stamp!
