This makes blue ray look like an 8 track tape.

Hopefully drives for this new format will not be crippled by entertainment industry pressure groups. I'll pass on HD-DVD/BluRay and wait for higher capacity.

A friend of mine, who is currently enrolled in a media arts degree at a college near here would jump at the chance at one of these drives when they become available. Currently he's using a 300GB standard hard drive to store his video projects.

Instead of shelling out big bucks for a new technology, why not just back up onto a couple of big drives?

Hard drives are CHEAP now - get a 300GB HD for $300! That's outrageous!!

The HAL9000 used holographic memory...just ask Dr. Chandra.

Unfortunately, by 2010, adware writers will be able to fill the drive to capacity with porn ads in under 10 seconds.

Remember when Windows 3.1 and a 20MB disk was high tech.

Now we get 20mb/sec transfers. What's in another 10 years?
