Compared to a C-ROM’s meager 700 MB storage space, and a DVD’s 5-ish GB, a Blu-Ray’s 25 GB is pretty impressive. All of those are nothing compared to a whole Terabyte though, and that’s what FujiFilm is planning to pack on an optical disc arriving in 2015. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the fabled 1 TB optical disk. TDK was talking about one back in 2010, but it still hasn’t come to market almost three years later. FujiFim, on the other hand, predicts they’ll be able to get theirs on shelves in two years, with the possibility of 15 TB discs not that much further behind. Read the full story at Gizmodo.
