CD coming soon ... 1 TB

An Israeli storage technology company has announced it is ready to launch the latest optical disc generation, with storage capacity of up to 1TB per disc.

Made from a methacrylate compound with polymer resin, TeraDisc is almost transparent to the laser wavelengths emitted by the disk reader.

According to Dr. Beth Erez, marketing director of Mempile, TeraDisc discs can create 200 virtual storage layers, each separated by about 5 microns and store 5GB of data.

The current models have saved 600 - 800 GB of data, a number can be considered desirable.

However, Mempile believes that they can improve the technology to 1TB in no longer.

" TeraDisc has a durability of up to 50 years and the quality of information storage is very reliable. The first model disk model was developed by us 18 months ago and will ship within 1 year, " said Ms. Erez. said.

In the first phase, TeraDisc will still use red laser technology, however, the Mempile's ambition is to switch to a green laser to create a "dinosaur" capacity of . 5TB for each CD.

" A 5TB hard drive can cost you up to $ 3,000, while a 600GB CD only costs $ 30-50, but the quality of storage is not the same. Economics is always the key to accepted by users , "said Ms. Erez.
