Versatile MultiLayer Discs coming

New Medium Enterprises in U.K. has announced that they have successfully developed a Versatile MultiLayer Disc (VMD) which is capable of holding anywhere between 20GB up to 100GB of data stored across 10 layers and read via conventional red laser technology. Such news might not excite anyone anymore, considering Hitachi will be releasing 940GB cartridges next year, but at least New Medium Enterprises have managed to increase the yield of their VMD with their technology which could potentiall reduce the manufacturing costs of these high capacity discs to that of DVD level. The VMD format will be compatible with existing high definition, gaming, and data storage systems. Expect to see these new discs hit the market next year. Looks like storage memory is getting cheaper by the day, and that is always a good thing.
