1273652 2012-05-05 04:55:00 Yeah it's a shame that technology has been around for over a decade now, yet we're still not seeing it mass-produced. IIRC some of the original smaller capacity FMD's were around that size, and the size increased significantly (tenfold?) when they changed to blue lasers and a few other things... Chilling_Silence (9)

1273655 2012-05-05 06:53:00 I just did a back up onto a re-writeable blue-ray disk. This was 19 GB in total and took about three hours to complete. It is not easy to find where to buy blank blue-ray discs let alone 128 GB quad layer blanks. Bobh (5192)

Mind you 128 GB quad layer may just about need a new mortgage for a while lol.
