Blows ass, where are the bio gel packs we were promised by voyager?

How easy is it to erase one of these discs? Just so we can erase the failure or a smoke and mirrors company.

/Mines the one with the laser in it

THose where a source of power? not storage. Plus when they catch a Virus they get sick for real....

Sounds like a top firm to be investing in - buy shares now while prices are low! They can only go Up! Up! Up!

Is the first title to be releaed on holographic disk rumoured to be Duke Nukem 3D?

Maybe they should diversify into fuel-aditive pills, run-your-car-from-water-mods, high-performance audio cables, dowsing and personal jetpacks.

Mine's the coat with the flying-car keys in the pocket.

They weren't a source of power your silly boy

"Bio-neural gel packs are a form of computer technology used by Starfleet, first developed circa 2370.

The gel packs form the basis of the bio-neural circuitry, which is essentially an organic computer system. The packs contain neural fibers surrounded in a blue gel with metallic interfaces on the top and bottom. They help store more information and operate at faster speeds than isolinear circuitry. "

Blu ray exists now with about 50Gbyte?

A new 1T drive from a competitor will play bluRay. They are doomed now.

It's like the Philips V2000 fiasco. If it had launched before VHS & betamax as N1500/N1700 we would never have had VHS/Betamax. But by the time they got production quantities the VHS had won.

Inphase sounds worse off.

...that we already had the technology to store vast amounts of data (GBs to TBs) on an optical media long ago (2000 seems to be ages to me at least). Not only that, but the technology, specifically the media, was reusable (rewritable) from the beginning.

Just in case everyone forgot: Fluorescent Multilayer Disc

And now we still doesn't have something similar that is readily available.

You can get bigger hard drives that that, for less money each.

Sure its a bit more of a hassle to shuffle a drive into a USB enclosure, but its gonna save you about $18000, and thats before media costs. Or you can just get network RAID arrays now.

I just can't see the point of these discs at all now.

"I just can't see the point of these discs at all now."

how about optical SSDD... There is about million of uses for that if they have reasonable rewrite rates
