New Research Promises 50TB on DVD-size Discs

The next generation of high density storage media may come from the most unlikely of places. According to professor V Renugopalakrishnan of Harvard’s Medical School in Boston, the research he and his team are working on promises storage capacities of up to 50TB (50,000GB) on a disc the same size as a conventional DVD.

This is absolutely amazing, no doubt about it. The future looks good in terms of storage though. We may end up at a time where we will never have to worry about a new HDD upgrade again.
