lol by the time I will be able to afford one the prices would go a lot down. I think as the demand goes down so does the products price. so it is either go off the market or be a big boom in the industry. This is really good if you are downloading stuff from torrents then you can compile them all together and then have it on just one small compact disc or it can become a great backup disc. But guys don't worry in time there will be cheaper and better storage disc, sleeker, harder and easier to maintain. We'll just have to wait and be paitient.

well we can really never say that it is a lot, maybe a few years from now 300GB will not be enough - remember when Bill Gates was quoted that 640Kb is enough for everyboy - not sure if this is true though, see where that 64Kb will go now.

holly crap.. and i thought the next generation blue-ray disc or hd-dvd is alot.. .30gb... but 300gb per disc?.. that is crazy. They said it's possible to go up to 1.6tb per disk.. .who would ever need that much? it's like all the anime/movie/drama you ever downloaded in 3 years worth would fit into one disc. .AHAHA that's pretty cool


but really now.. lol.. .the writer is as much as a decent new car... not to mention people have to buy the disc reader...

plus... 100 dollars per disc for 300gb?.. i would rather buy a 300gb external hdd or internal hdd for 100gb.

I think that the film industry should use this kind of technology to make thier films, sure people will need to buy new dvd players but the people who burn the films will have to charge quite alot and it will probably end up cheaper to pay for the original film, But i am confused as to where someone would be able to purchase this sort of product? Would they sell it at certain computer stores or at everystore? People with really big hard drives would benifit from these as they can practicly burn theyre whole hard drive to a disk.

I don't think it's worth it either. The stability of the disc would be a big factor to consider. Since discs lose their data overtime, and if you accidentally end up getting scratches on them which affect the data inside, you'll probably have to wave, "Bye bye hundred dollar disc!"... It's probably not a good idea to store such a huge amount of data on something that can eventually degrade. I would prefer those flash drives because they're easy to carry, you don't need a case for it, you won't get scratches on them, and they can carry a pretty satisfactory load. Just my two cents, though...

WOW!
Thats an insane amount of storage for one disc.
like many have already noted, the concern for havign so much data on something so easily damagable, and the price is an obvious downer. i mean. . . .that much for a writer?. . . jeeez .. . .
but if you think about it , why would you want that mutch storage on a disc anyways.
yeah sure, you transfer LOADS of files and data etc, back up entire pcs etc, but that can be done with External hard drives for a fraction of the cost, and they will only improve and become larger and cheaper.
the HDDVD and Blu-Ray format will be interesting too, when their made fully mainstream.

nice find

thats a crazy amount of room. I would never be able to fill it all up. But it would be awesome to have it. But the price is insane. But it will probally drop when something new is desinged. I really dont see it selling to well at this point in time. But as techonlolgy developes it would probally sell a lot better.

the rapid advanced in portable storage really makes my pc hard-drive seem obsolete. i mean, i would've thought hardware would have better specs but this just blows my pos harddrive to pieces. i was looking forward to blu-rays and those new dvds but this? really technology is kicking everything in the butt nowadys.

OMG, thats expensive equiptment there, how much u wanna bet it will go down soon? give it 5-10 yrs and it will go down drastically, its good for companies though, if u wanna move stuff if u are going to reformat somthing or if u wanna make an ultra giant music cd lol!
