TDK this week confirmed its plan to develop a Blu-ray Disc with a
storage capacity of 200GB. If successful, the company's R&D effort will
yield a disc with four times the capacity of today's biggest BDs and
double the size of protoype next-generation BD-Rs TDK has already
demo'd.
TDK showed off a 100GB BD prototype in May 2005. The 100GB disc
contains four data-storage layers, is recordable and supports a write
speed of up to 216Mbps, double that of 50GB BD-Rs.
