oooohooo, a 1 tera disc =)

an application directly comes to my mind =)

D6-grade cinema recordings

imagine... a HDTV movie, all non-compressed, with 12 non-compressed sound layers... should be around a tera per movie.

data rate is 1500mbit/sec

They do, but yours might be DVD-RAM, MO discs, etc. A lot of discs have come in caddies, even CDs.

That would make for easy back up of data.

Of course, it needs to be adopted as an industry standard.

And that right there is the problem. Remember the +/- wars? Well, actually, they're still going on. And now, with NEC's dual-layer burners (and pretty much no discs to burn them on) for under $100, there's another thing to mess up standards. I'm guessing - will win out eventually, due to it's much higher compatibility with set-top DVD players, if nothing else. Sadly, like Betamax vs. VHS, compatibility usually beats out performance. (no, I'm not saying + has advantages over -. They're practically identical. I'm just pointing out how these things usually turn out)

As for using these things to backup data, yeah, it'd be nice to be able to fit an entire drive image on one disc, but I'm betting it's going to be at least 2 years before these have any sort of foothold in the industry. They *might* be available for insane prices in 1 year, but not very commonly. Give 'em 5 years and they'll be just like DVD burners now. Of course, there's Blu-Ray to watch out for...

They very well could be MO discs, as they're not terribly new and came from an institutional environment.

Now you're talking!!
