Hitachi is now working on improving the signal quality of its quad-layer technology so that it will be ready for market. The company also said that it is working on an eight-layer variant of the technology, which would yield a Blu-ray Disc capable of holding 200GB.

Sheesh...

    You'd think it would be cheaper and easier to just buy external hard drives for backup at that point :)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I would still need 7 of those to back up my digital media :(

    Optical devices have never kept up with my needs for backing up data, I've always had something near 10 times the amount of data that they can store. So I just do it the cheap way, I have many computers in my house and I just buy bigger hard drives and just keep3-4 copies of the data on several different computers. You can get a 750 gig external WD hard drive right now at Best Buy for $200.
