Forget
single-layer media, that
dual-layer stuff that was all the rage last year, and even the
triple-layered flavor that got announced just days ago. , even an
eight-layer disc would be forced to
bow down to the sure-to-be-outdone-soon ten-layer rendition supposedly crafted by Ritek. No sooner than we all celebrated the idea of a 51GB HD DVD, Ritek has reportedly "designed HD media with a full ten layers," not to mention the supposed three- and
four-layer coasters it has laying around while working its way up. As if that weren't impressive enough, it also claims that this multi-layer process can be applied to both HD DVD
and Blu-ray, a feat that Toshiba's recent creation can't quite compete with. Of course,
Ritek officials were quick to point out that the "real barrier to this advancement is the lack of reader / writer laser diodes to support the additional layers," but if there really are 250GB BD discs just waiting to get spun,
those lasers aren't too far behind.
