Research into the different layers of DVD’s and CD’s have brought about a lot of new information and advancements in just these past few months. The biggest news of it all? 400GB Blu-ray discs.

By taking one Blu-ray disc and dividing it into 16 layers, all curved and angled differently, the disc can be read in numerous ways, allowing for that maximum storage space to be attained. The only issue with all of this new technology is that there is going to be a big need for a new type of laser.

To demonstrate the glory of this increased capacity, Pioneer, the leaders behind this technology, have created the disc and the appropriate player to show exactly how it works.

Now just image burning 400GB of anything. Let’s hope we skip the x1 burn phase.
