"TDK, one of the leaders in optical discs manufacturing, has presented all the details regarding its latest 200GB Blu-ray disc (BD), the world’s highest optical disc capacity.

It seems that TDK has increased the capacity of all six disc layers by 32%, the layers having 33GB apiece, from the initial 25GB capability.

Apparently, the war featuring HD DVD standard and Blu-ray media was won by the latter, as it is almost impossible to increase HD DVD layers capacity
from 50 GB to more than 200 GB using new media materials."


Yes, TDK has proposed and actually created the 200GB optical disk. While the laser burns the disc at a temp of 650-ish degrees, it creates microscopic bubbles in the layers of the disc. It has been determined that optical data can be stored in these bubbles, thereby maximizing room on a disc up to 200GB of space. Imagine backing up your entire hard drive to a single disc.

However, it is unsure if the current Blu-ray drives will be able to read or write such large media, and research is being made to update current drives. The Blu-ray drives are currently available in Japan.
