GE Breakthrough Validates Technology to Enable 500-Gigabyte Disc

摘要

GE Global Research, the technology development arm of the General Electric Company, announced what it called "a major breakthrough in the development of next generation optical storage technology" on April 27.rnThe company says its researchers have successfully demonstrated a threshold micro-holographic storage material that can support 500 gigabytes of storage capacity in a standard DVD-size disc. This is equal to the capacity of 20 single-layer Blu-ray discs, 100 DVDs or a large hard drive for a desktop computer.
