TDK has developed a prototype Blu-ray disc that can store 100GB of data, a news source said.
At an exhibition in Toyko this week, TDK unveiled the 100GB disc that can record data at 72 megabits per second, double the 36 mbps rate of current Blu-ray discs. To achieve the higher capacity, TDK added two additional recording layers to the disc to take it up to four layers.
TDK's announcement comes on the heels of last week's news that Toshiba has created a three-layer read-only HD DVD that can hold 45GB of data. HD DVD is a competing format to Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD's maximum capacity of 30GB had been viewed unfavorably against Blu-ray Disc's maximum 50GB capacity on a dual-layer disc.
