16-Layer 400GB Blu-ray disk by EOY 2010
Pioneer showcases 16-layer 400GB optical disc
Latest news
Jimmy Hsu, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Monday 1 December 2008]
Pioneer is exhibiting its super multi-layer read-only optical disc which features 16 separate layers on a single side with 25GB storage capacity on each layer for a total capacity of 400GB at the IT Month fair taking place in Taipei.
The technology of the super multi-layer read-only disc is based on Blu-ray Disc (BD) with a breakthrough in material of reflective layers, according to Pioneer High Fidelity Taiwan. The specifications of the pick-up head (PUH) of the disc is the same as those for the PUH of blank BD discs, and therefore the Pioneer discs can be read on BD players, the company said.
According to Pioneer's internal roadmap, its super multi-layer technology development is read-only (ROM) discs in 2008-2010, rewritable discs in 2010-2012 and 1TB (1,000GB) disc in 2013, the company indicated.
So, does this mean we can get all of the Star Wars movies or all of the Star Trek movies on one disk?

No. I doubt the BDA will be quick to jump on this and I can't imagine a real savings in the manufacturing, so my bet is you never see movies distributed on anything like a 16 layer disc.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if this uber-layer disk is more fragile than the standard.

I thought the same thing about double-layer BD's, and flipper DVDs, too. Yet, they exist.
