A DVD with water on it.

General Electric is working on a DVD-sized disc capable of holding 500GB of data (over 100 times more than a standard DVD).  Storing data in three dimensions, instead of 1 or 2 layers , allows the discs to house immense amounts of information in a comparable buy Ampicillin physical space.

Consumers are accepting medialess technologies such as digital delivery, cloud computing, and on-line backups, and using physical media less and less.  It will be a race to see if GE’s new holographic disc can find its place in a Brand Cialis shrinking market for physical media.

Blu-Ray Discs, the current size leader, supports up to 50 GB of storage, but in the future may support up buy viagra online to 200GB.  Blu-Ray has had its own problems fighting for consumer acceptance.  First a fight to the death with HD-DVD, then an ongoing struggle against Apple, Netflix, Hulu, Bittorent and countless other online movie delivery systems. (And let’s not forget the unsinkable DVD)

The ability to store 500GB on a single disc would be a boon to professional buy amoxil levitra costs and amateur videographers.  These 500GB discs might also make inroads to the Enterprise backup market.  However, the consumer market is very price sensitive so even great technologies can miss their mark if priced too aggressively (I’m looking at you Lightscribe Viagra Jelly and Zink).  Hopefully GE can find Cialis online a happy medium.
