Scientists have developed a new type of optical disc that can increase information storage capacity to the "petabit" level — 125 terabytes of data, or the combined storage capacity of about 15,000 ...

Holographic storage is a game-changer in the data storage landscape, boasting an impressive capacity of 1 petabyte on a single disc. This game-changing innovation is poised to redefine the way we ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. During recent prior year projections for digital storage and memory we have not talked much about digital storage using optical ...

Optical storage can last a century, give faster access to data, and is backward compatible with earlier optical technology, yet disk drives and tape rule in long-term storage. Optical media is the ...

The scientists increased the capacity by leaps and bounds using an optical disc with a 3D planar recording architecture, which uses a highly transparent, uniform photoresist film doped with ...

Forward-looking: As consumers increasingly turn toward digital distribution and data center operators try various storage methods, optical discs haven't stopped evolving. A recently published paper ...

Forward-looking: Despite consumer PCs and game consoles transitioning to faster SSDs, traditional disk drives (HDDs) continue to offer ever more space for cold storage at lower prices. One company ...

The new disc is based on a material called AIE-DDPR, which has a much higher storage density than other formats. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
