Hitachi working on new data cartridge

So, you think that your 50GB dual layer Blu-ray media is the next best thing since sliced bread, as it comes with more than enough space to store your entire data library for the casual computer user. Hitachi is currently working on its StackedHitachi_DVD_Cartridge.jpg Volumetric Optical Discs (VSOD) technology which is actually extremely slim DVD discs that measure a mere 92 micrometers thick and hold up to 9.4GB of data each. Up to a hundred of these discs are packed into a single 6.4cm cartridge, bringing the grand total up to 940GB of storage real estate. These new data cartridges will be released in Japan early next year, carrying with a price tag of approximately $340. In case 940GB is not enough for you, Hitachi is also working on developing a new Blu-ray model which will replace the dual layer DVDs used in that cartridge. Can anyone say overkill? One can only wonder how much a thing like that would cost when it is released for the mass consumer market.

Pros : Holds 940GB of data on a single cartridge
Cons : Technology not released yet
