I wonder how much these will cost if/when they make it to the market. A LOT.

Wowzers! :shocked:

50 terabytes (about 50,000 gigabytes)

There we go, modifying DNA of bacteria to change their protein structure. Getting closer and closer to SKYNET ! :shocked:

I wouldn't be surprised if those things hit the market in ten years for $1 per disc. As tech spreads and continues to develop at an exponential pace, it gets cheaper. In ten years, the manufacturing process to make such discs will be faster and more efficient than ever.

What'd be really cool is if they could make discs smaller, let's say the size of a thick quarter that could hold 10 TB of data; and you could load em up into a camera the way you load change into your car's glove compartment...you could load ten of these small discs into a future, 'Red' camera and shoot 4k for limitless hours

If I ever built a web deliverable open-source OS , I'd call it 'Skynet'

I don't want Linda Hamilton shooting at me with a CAR-15. No thanks :grin:

Oh man, that would be SICK! I would love for that to hit the market.
