I read an article today about a new 12x Blue Laser diode being productd by Sanyo that will allow up to 100GB of data to be writted to a 4 layer Blu Ray disc and at this speed that will take around 10 minutes.
With this increase in storag space you can fit 8 hours of HD video onto one of these Blu Ray discs. And just imagine what it will do to backing up your pc's.
While the development of the laser is a step toward such systems, users shouldn't expect them anytime soon. With the development of a suitable laser, companies are now able to work on products supporting the higher speeds, but the length of the development cycle and the Blu-ray Disc standardization process means drives and recorders running at the higher speeds likely won't be available until one or two years later.
Optical disc systems such as Blu-ray Disc typically advance throughout their lives, thanks to developments in component technology. Stronger lasers mean additional recording layers can be added and discs can be spun faster. Most of the latest Blu-ray Disc drives support double-layer at speeds of up to 6X.
