Call/Recall unveils multi-terabyte optical storage solution

There was a brief moment in time when unveiling an "optical storage technology that can provide 40 times the capacity of Blu-ray and over 200 times the capacity of DVD" would be momentous, but unfortunately for Call/Recall, it's just one of the herd at this point. Nevertheless, the company is pushing forward in its development of "2-photon 3D technology" that can purportedly stuff many terabytes of data onto a "DVD-sized disc" or even cram 50GB onto a one-inch disc aimed at cellphones and mobile media players. The system relies on a "2-photon recording process to record bits in a three-dimensional volume in a disk," which can stuff multiple layers atop one another in order to give users more room to work with. As expected, there's little to be said about an actual mainstream release of the so-called solution, and besides, we're having a hard enough time swallowing the pricetags of existing high-density storage drives.

Does that mean HD-DVD and Blu-ray will be soon obsolete? o.o

I hope this thing is out fast though.

....but can you store a copy of DOOM on one of those disks?

[Chuckles McGee @ Jun 29th 2007 8:51AM]

No,no. Storage options don't receive DOOM questioning.


Mmmm, at last enough space for porn.

I think the very real and substantial question here is: will they blend?

50 gb disk in a cell phone? Great, there's an expensive moving component that will break easily. I'll stick with a smaller capacity SSD when it comes to phones.

This is old news. Check out Inphase technologies. 1.5tb perdisc. They have been doing it for a while now.

that makes a huge difference. think about it if there able to do it that means, all the talk about the space on the xbox 360 dvd games will run out soon are over. AND BIGGER MORE OPEN MAP DATA PACKED GAMES WILL BE RELEASED. ^.6 SCORE ONE FOR MULITI-TERABYTE OPTICAL STORAGE
