Iomega Patents 850GB DVD Nano-Technology

Posted by CmdrTaco on

Mike writes "US Patent & Trademark Office recently issued a patent to Iomega Corp. for its work with nano-technology and optical data storage. New technology, called Articulated Optical - DVD will allow 40-100 times more data (upto 850 Gb) to be stored on a DVD with data transfer rates 5-30 times faster than today's DVDs, and at similarly low costs. AO - DVD is a novel technique of encoding data on the surface of a DVD by using reflective nano-structures to encode data in a highly multi-level format."

    Have you ever dropped a DLT?
    Why yes, I've dropped a Diarrhea-Like Turd before.
    Someone over in our Comp Sci department did that a few years ago. It looked okay, though, so it went back on the shelf.
