Please please hear my voice. No more 5.25 disks please. I want to have future where disks really fit pocket of my jacket!

In other words, I'd rather have 3.5 disks with 25TB ;-)]]>Jul 12th 2006 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/

They shouldn't be aiming for a 50TB dvd-type disc, they should be aiming for a 50TB per platter HDD with this technology. Regardless of how much info you cram onto a dvd-type disc, you're still looking at incredibly slow seek times and reaction rates with only one laser-head.

Besides, do they really expect to be able to protect against smudges and tiny scratches that will no doubt completely throw off the readability of nano-meter-sized "pits"?]]>Jul 12th 2006 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/Jul 12th 2006 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/Jul 12th 2006 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/12/protein-coated-discs-could-enable-50tb-capacities/
