16 layer

400 Gigabytes in one optical disc

As if the 25-gigabyte paper disc from Sony and Toppan is not enough for our personal digital storage needs, Pioneer has created the world’s first 16-layer (ok let’s do away with 4-layer, 8-layer and just skip to 16 altogether) optical disc capable of storing 400GB of read only data.

That should be more than enough to store your 100 most loved full-length DVD videos (or is it?). You can read more about it at the Akihabara News web site.
