TDK Develops a 320GB Blu-ray Disc

Posted October 5, 2009 02:10 PM by Josh Dreuth

TDK is set to demonstrate a 10-layer 320GB Blu-ray Disc at CEATEC in Japan this week. The company was able to expand the capacity of each layer from the standard 25GB to 32GB, and stack them them up to 10 layers thick while using existing Blu-ray technology. TDK was able to do this by altering the material of each layer to operate at higher efficiency.

After testing, TDK determined that the error rate met the threshold for wide- spread use, and are currently determining commercial viability for the product. For more detailed information, please visit the source link.
