“Captain! We need more storage! ”
Though most computers have massive amounts of storage capability, this included desktops and laptop computers, we are not satisfied with what we have. A number of can easily eat away at the number of megabytes that are in our hard drives within minutes. We keep documents, papers, games, saved files, applications and don’t forget our beloved music and movies.  What are we going to do when the space we have isn’t enough? Some of us by DVD’s. Some of us by external hard drives both portable and desktop, which can give a person an extra 250MB to 1TB. The problem with this method is you filling up these as well. What happens when you 100 plus dollar 1 TB external hard drive is full? What would you do if you found out that a research team in Australia cam up with a way to make a 1TB DVD?

What a team from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia said “that by harnessing nanoparticles and a “polarization” dimension to existing technology, storage can be massively boosted without changing the size of a current disc.”
In short ladies and gentlemen, we can make DVD’s so that we can put more on them without making DVD’s the size of a medical textbook

The team has signed a deal with Samsung Electronics, said “the technique had allowed them to store 1.6 terabytes of data on a disc with the potential to one day store up to 10 terabytes.”

For anyone that wants to know how much stuff they can put on one of these MASSIVE DVD’s that is “One terabyte would be enough to hold 300 feature length films or 250,000 songs.”

It looks like we are going where no DVD has gone before.
