I was reading an article from my xbox magazine and scientists were coming up with theories about a disk with 1 terrabyte of space now the basic idea was to use multi layers of gold filming, it would be the same size as a DVD but the only problem was getting a DVD drive powerful enough to read the multiple layers of gold filming. has anyone else heard about this?

Haven't noticed any articles similar to that recently, but of course scientists are always woking on faster, better, smaller in size, bigger in amount, so yea it's possible they are wandering about that

I remember reading an article similar to this a long time ago, although I don't think it was a terrabyte they were thinking it would be possible to run, though I would imagine it could certainly happen. It would be very cool (sad when your DVD has so much more storage than your HD
 ).

lol yeah happened to me before. Had a 3GB hard disk and 14GB DVD, lol that was fun, I actually tried to use the DVD as a hard disk but it burnt out the disk after a while although it was cool. Im now on a 80 + 160 GB disks but I want a 1TB HD, got a link to this on the web? A class 5 (is that right) laser should be powerful enough shouldnt it, but then they cost quite a bit.

this is possible because the layers could be fat enough to read, but the players will take time between each layer and its annying as i haveloads of films that stop in the middle and then you have a ten second period where you cant see anything then it turns back on

Pre-loading would fix that, just give them a hard drive, they could preload, what 20GB in advance? And continue deleting and writing new data and that would take of that.

I seriously doubt it would need to preload 20GB in advance to be effective, I think you could have it less than 1GB and still be more than enough of a preload to solve any delay that could arise from the switch between layers.

Nice idea, way nice idea but; would they be affordable? would they be fast enough?
