Pioneer develops 400GB optical disc
Posted byJul 7
Pioneer Electronics has announced that they have discovered a way to manufacture a 16-layer readable disc with a total storage capacity of 400GB on a single disc. The disc will have a 25GB storage capacity per layer which is equivalent to a single-layer Blu-Ray Disc.
The disc’s format is similar to Blu-ray, according to Pioneer, the per-layer size (25GB) and reading lens behave in a similar way, making the disc compatible with regular Blu-ray Disc Players. However, Pioneer hasn’t said when it expects to commercialize their 16-layer disc discovery.
