In the long run, BluRay goes that step further.[/quote] Except to reach that theoretical limit for BluRay, one is going to have to do a ridiculous and extremely expensive amount of R&D to get that laser down even further (in fact, it is going into areas not even remotely researched to do it). Not to mention how susceptable the drives already are to vibration (due to the fact that the laser is so close to the media that is being written on). Even closer ranges would increase that substantially. A Dual-layer, double-sided HD-DVD gets up to 50 GB, btw. And the theorectical limit of the HD DVD was nowhere near the paltry amount you have given. That is without adjusting the laser depth. With adjustments to the laser depth (the amount of space between the laser and the material written to), one has many more options to store data with on the media. Let us be plain here - the market has settled on the more expensive, and less flexible standard. That should not come as a great surprise if one examines history. In any event, it is all moot now.
