TDK Makes 200GB Blu-ray Discs, Too Bad Nobody Can Play Them

[Metroid_Fan]

Yes, TDK, who said they were going to make 200GB discs, went and made 200GB discs. Who'da thunk it? Well, unfortunately for everyone on the planet, there isn't any drive or player out right now that can read 200GB discs. Oh well.

The 200GB monster is single sided, but has six layers with 33.333333333 (continuing) GB on each layer. First 100GB discs, now 200GB discs. What's next, TDK?

pay attention
due to firmware limitations and lack of communication none of the current players are capable of playing discs over 50GB

stop trying to be smug

[stotheamuel]

who me?? lol you don't think there will be a player???

wow.. they made those for nothing

lol how much would a 200gb disc be?

[mavsman4457]

LMAO... if there was ... thought would mean.. on one disk or hardrive.. there would have to be more GB of storage than there are known particles in the universe....

ps... heres some stuff on how mind blowing googol plexi are

"How big is a googolplex? A googol is greater than the number of elementary particles in the known universe, which has been variously estimated from 1072 up to 1087. Since a googolplex is one followed by a googol zeroes, it would not be possible to write down or store a googolplex in decimal notation, even if all the matter in the known universe were converted into paper and ink or disk drives.

Thinking of this another way, consider printing the digits of a googolplex in unreadable, 1-point font. TeX 1pt font is .3514598mm per digit, which means it would take about meters to write in one point font. The known universe is estimated at meters in diameter, which means the distance to write the digits would be about times the diameter of the known universe. The time it would take to write such a number also renders the task implausible: if a person can write two digits per second, it would take around times the age of the universe to write down a googolplex"


hahaha but i do here there is going to be a black-ray disk with graham's number gigibytes

Thanks for the information. That's very interesting. Apperently my ENTIRE second grade class was wrong when they said a "google plux" is a 1 followed by 100 zeros. I don't know who to believe.

200GB is a lot to me
i only have a 60GB hard drive in my G4 mac…(my family G5 is connected to three 600GB drives though…)
and my current disk space is 4.5GB (shocking)
mostly full of music soits worth it.
