Super-Fast Dual-Layer DVD Writing

An anonymous reader writes "If you've been putting off buying a dual layer DVD burner because they're so slow, check this out. The latest NEC drive burns dual-layer disks at 4x, writing over 8gb in 25 minutes. It also burns-single layer disks at 16x on both formats."

Technology wanted: FMD-ROM 140GB

[Wills]

I am still waiting very patiently for the 140GB FMD-ROM (Fluorescent Multilayer Disk Read-Only Memory), "slated to be ready before the end of the year" (2000) , manufactured by that truly stellar company Constellation 3D Inc. with laboratories in Israel and Russia.

As it happens, the most cost-effective high-capacity storage technology remains the hard-drive based on magnetic media.
