Sanyo makes 450 mW Blue laser - allows for 4 layer 100GB disks

More powerful Blu-Ray laser means 100GB

How does 12x Blu-Ray writing strike you?

How about four layers?

Yep, Sanyo is working on a 100GB, four layer, 12x Blu-Ray burner... now that will hold a bit of 1080p goodness :-)

I know I'd like some drives like that...

    You won't be able to store a modern, large~ish drive on blu-ray anytime soon. The consumer can't anyhow.

    By the time the consumer can, the new hard drives of that time, will be too big XD

    But yeah, pretty cool. But I can't see it being used much, except perhas by people who wan't to back up large amounts of data, or are involved in graphics/video or something, production.

    Wouldn't an external hard drive be easier and cheaper? £54 for 500gb external drive atm.

    If only I can burn the Blu-ray discs as fast as maximum CD's writing speed, my whole life will then be fulfilled!!!!
