TDK outlines 50GB Blu-ray disk plans

And it has a recording disk ready

STORAGE GIANT TDK is developing a double layer Blu-ray disk which will
store 50GB of data, the Nikkei Business Daily reports.

And it has also developed a Blu-ray recordable disk which uses silicon
and copper alloy which is ready to be released just as soon as the
Blu-Ray Disk Association comes to a conclusion on the putative
standard.

The Japanese newspaper said that the double layer disk contains enough
storage to throw six hours of digital television on it. Unfortunately
it doesn't contain an on-line intelligent editor to filter out much of
the rubbish bored couch potatoes face.

But, the recordable Blu-Ray disk TDK has readied will write data and
multimedia fast, and won't need a separate cartridge to protect it
because of the way it's designed.
