General Electric develops a 500 GB media Disc

General Electric has announced that they have managed to develop a media disc that is capable of storing 500GB of data.

This is equivalent to storing data worth around 100 regular DVD discs.

The company said that the disc was developed using a technology named “micro-holographic storage”.

This makes it similar to DVD and Blu-Ray formats.

This would enable the players capable of reading this format to also support regular DVDs and Blu-Ray media.

GE representative Brian Lawrence said: “The day when you can store your entire high-definition movie collection on one disc and support high-resolution formats like 3-D television is closer than you think.”

The company said that they have been working on this technology for more than six years.
