1. who cares how mnay gigs it can hold we already have 1000GB hD in the market

WHat we need is speed how many MB can it tranfer per sec

2. wow... that holds more than my ENTIRE HOUSE'S capacity.....

3. Excellent! I wish they just released it next year.

4. Excellent! I wish they just release it next year.

5. By the year 2010, who can guess how much data games and other such programs will take up? I remember thinking when I got my first gigabyte HDD that I would never have need of the recycle bin ever again... I was wrong ;)

6. Yea who careas that there will be probably be insanely cheap terabyte discs that can fit in your hand and weigh nothing. Whats the smallest terabyte drive you have seen? I'm pretty certain there are none. They are all actually multiple drives in one case and they aren't cheap. I would also imagine the drive could be relatively fast as well because the pits are asymetric and the disc is still the size of dvds. It doesn't say the technology uses some crazy compression. The above comment makes no sense. It that'd be like saying dvd burners are useless because we have hard drives that are nearly 100 times bigger.

Actually, anon, you're wrong on your first statement. *cough* Google! *cough*

But, yeah, any technology that significantly increases the density of optical media a step in the right direction in my book.

7. am i seeing dejavu or something? I've seen similar article 3 years ago and it's like 4th time I'm hearing about multiangle optical storage...

8. fuck me thats huge
