Although the recent announcement by Samsung would have left you in puzzle about how on earth 16 of the 64Gb chips could hold equivalent to 80 DVDs? But, lets forget about Samsung and look at a more promising new type of memory than the flash memory. The researchers at Arizona State University have developed a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could put terabyte-sized thumb drives in consumers’ pockets within a few years.

Considering 1 DVD is 4.7GB for single layer.....Basically u need 376GB for 80 DVDs , that will need at 47 of these chips to be crammed on 1 device :) Some other sources say that Samsung claim they’re able to claim maximum of 16 of these 64Gb or 8GB chip to make up a 128GB, The big question is how 128GB holds up to 80 DVDs?

And the big question now is how the 128GB can hold 80 DVDs? Based on searching for more info, the original source could miss something i.e either it refers to 80 compressed feature films with DVD quality, instead of literally 80 DVDs or It refers to those mini DVD that only 1.4GB each :) Hi, of course, the BBC source says 80 DVDs really kinda confusing to everybody.

LOL. JK But I'm confused... they claim they can use enought together to create a maximum of 128GB of storage, and that equals 80 DVDs? DVD (Layer 1) = 4.7GB DVD (2 Layers) = 8.5 80DVDs = at least 376GB (single layered) OR 680GB (dual-layered). aren't both 376 AND 680 greater than 128. Sounds like somebody needs to get their facts straight - and I don't think it's me. Lies! LOL. JK

DVD (Layer 1) = 4.7GB
DVD (2 Layers) = 8.5

80DVDs = at least 376GB (single layered) OR 680GB (dual-layered).

aren’t both 376 AND 680 greater than 128. Sounds like somebody needs to get their facts straight – and I don’t think it’s me.
