Never trust a company which's website shows nothing but the last press announcement and the email address of the CEO. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/
"You know, the ability to fit lots of stuff into small crevasses"

That's what she said!

It needs big clunky drives, has terrible access time, and every time the amount of data that can be stored gets large, the transfer speeds drop a bit more... the seek time on Blu-ray is pitiful because the disk spins so slow.
I have a funny feeling blu-ray will be the last optical storage medium that's acceptable at all in seek/transfer speeds. Everyone is moving on. flash drives for carrying data, internet for downloading/moving music. It's just not worth it to keep working on optical tech.... at least not in my opinion. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/larger*]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/
"I think it's about time we moved on from optical tech..."

Don't you mean 'mechanical tech'? Optical storage has a lot going for it, there's no need for it to include rotating discs though.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/

Indeed.

Not to mention the noise. To this day I can't leave a DVD in my desktop as I'm risking cardiac arrest every time Windows decides to willfully spin up the drive at 4am.]]>Jun 7th 2010 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/

I'd say if a solar flare would occur that massive and strong to do that then we will have much bigger things to worry about than your precious MP3s from your HDDs. For example loss of electricity, all of the power and communications infrastructure, health and financial records...]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Ever since I removed all of the optical drives on my computers I don't regret it a bit, windows installation are faster, I don't spend any money about stupid discs and if anyone wants to transfer big files over to my computer they will use a USB flash drive, it's much faster and cheaper.
I'm sorry but I really can't figure out why would any one will want to use a disc these days when we have the fricking INTERNET!]]>Jun 7th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/Jun 7th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/researcher-promises-petabyte-hyper-cds-as-we-struggle-to-maintai/I agree, its highly unlikely he's going to 'productise' it as they say, so why even bother producing this article for the shyster?

Its no different to that chap who reckoned we'd all be in flying cars by now, Moller? He keeps seeing media attention and turning out absolutely nothing too!
