Pioneer unveils 400GB Blu-ray disc

[admin]

Pioneer has gone all storage crazy on us by coming up with a Blu-ray disc that is capable of holding 400GB of information.

This disc uses 16 layers to hold all the information at 25GB per stack, compared to the dual layer 50GB discs that we see in Blockbuster but never rent because the normal DVD is, well, cheaper.

That is just CRAZY. I suppose it would be nice for storing HD content.

I could backup my hard drive in like two discs!

But how long would it take to burn one? LOL

its seems the next thing will be as iv seen few years back on discovery about storage on crystal tht holds some tyra bytes.

I wouldn't want to backup all my data to one single very easily damaged/lost disc. External hard-drives are still the way to go, since you get get 1TB for peanuts these days, or get one with 2 x 500 GB for mirroring.

Well you have a point there...

I do have a couple external drives, I just don't reserve any for backup since they're all filled with videos and media

Maybe I could make several copies of the same backup disc? LOL
