Samsung and Panasonic working on 300GB Blu-ray succesor

Samsung and Panasonic working on 300GB Blu-ray succesor

With UHD making a small revolution in resolution the demand for optical storage capacity will rise in the near future. Both Samsung and Panasonic are now working on a 300GB Blu-ray succesor released by the end of 2015.

Tokyo, July 29, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation today announced that they have signed a basic agreement with the objective of jointly developing a next-generation standard for professional-use optical discs, with the objective of expanding their archive business for long-term digital data storage. Both companies aim to improve their development efficiency based on the technologies held by each respective company, and will target the development of an optical disc with recording capacity of at least 300GB by the end of 2015. Going forward, Sony and Panasonic will continue to hold discussions regarding the specifications and other items relating to the development of this new standard.

Optical discs have excellent properties to protect them against the environment, such as dust-resistance and water-resistance, and can also withstand changes in temperature and humidity when stored. They also allow inter-generational compatibility between different formats, ensuring that data can continue to be read even as formats evolve. This makes them a robust medium for long-term storage of content. Both companies have previously developed products based on the Blu-ray Disk format, leveraging the strengths of optical discs. However, both Sony and Panasonic recognized that optical discs will need to accommodate much larger volumes of storage in years to come given the expected future growth in the archive market, and responded by formulating this agreement.

100 GB blank blu-ray discs are $55 here. so I can only imagine how much a 300 Gb will cost. But this is good news, more storage is better.

srsly they are mad. The production yield of Tripel Layer BD's isn't rly amazing and now this, just loool
The industry should just drop the mpeg2 code for movies, i've seen quite some BD movies that are still using mpeg2 -> waste of spaces

Agreed, especially considering it's not difficult to get a 720p movie to fit in a single-layer DVD. The problem is the processors of the players. A single layer Blu Ray could easily play 1080p without murdering your hardware.

I think Blu Ray was a necessary format but the cost of it pretty much dug the grave of optical discs. I'd gladly have bought a blu ray burner for backups if it was more cost effective than a 1TB hard drive. Aside from the reasons mentioned in the article, optical discs are nice for backups because:
* They're dirt cheap (or supposed to be, not sure what the excuse is for Blu Ray since the manufacture process is very similar to DVD)
* If the capacity is high enough, they save more physical space than other media. Think of it like this - if you have a 300GB disc and get a 100 pack cake box, that's about 30TB of data in a pretty small area.
* The higher capacity discs have very reasonable write speeds. For archiving, seek times don't really matter.

I'm not sure where tape drives stand today, but I feel that magnetic storage doesn't belong in this decade.

Thanks. 1000TB optical disks. Google will be happy with those. ;)
