Optical disc that provides 500GB of storage capacity? This doesn’t sound too much ahead and even less than some of the holographic technologies that we’ve seen before. But the great thing is the researchers are confident to cram the 500GB onto regular HD-DVD or Blu-ray discs. The project is called “Microholas”, carried out by researchers at University of Berlin, which is some kind of microholographic recording technique that makes use of extremely tiny structures – nanostructures, inside the disc to squeeze in as much data as possible. Anyway, the researchers are still unsatisfied with their current result, which they’re still striking to work on for better, hope to achieve one terabyte of storage on a single disc one day. One terabyte on a single DVD or Blu-ray, that is a lot! So, you can have one single disc to store up thousands of movies on it. My guess is, when this technology has become mature, we’d get the kind of DVD/Blu-ray disc writer in the market, which supports microholographic recording technique in order to write 500GB or more of data onto a single HD-DVD/Blu-ray disc.
