The University of Berlin, with partners Budapest University of Technology and Economics and Universita Politecnica delle Marche in Italy, has managed to work out how to store 500GB of data on a regular HD DVD or Blu-ray disc.
The Microholas project developed a microholographic recording technique, using nanostructures inside the disk rather than on the surface as in conventional optical storage systems.
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
The future is just a yr away it seems. 1 TB on a disc.

o.o thats 4x more then this HD <_<
Can they add at least 40-50 GB to a regular DVD so we can just stay with dvd and drop blu-ray and HD DVD? That would be nice... no more format war...
@warfed
Actually I have an HD DVD drive. I think I was accused of being a fanboys for owning one the other day.
Why would I be a fanboy by saying... What you don't have a DVD drive? Everyone has a DVD drive... the main reason why blu-ray and HD DVD were released is because DVD's capacity is too small to hold HD movies... if DVD can hold 50-60GB than why would everyone have to replace DVD?
Noo.... you are the fanboy.... simply because you don't care about the best solution as long as blu-ray wins... even if they figure out how to box 50-60GB of data on a standard DVD... it would render HD DVD and blu-ray useless..

This comes from someone who has 2 bubbles... ever wonder why you only have 2 bubbles?
I don't care if a Sony fanboy calls me fanboy. Specially one that's dumb enough to pay $600 for a console that was priced at that point primarily because of the blu-ray drive that he is afraid of using...
Dude you are a fanboy! Blu-ray movie playback is the reason why Sony keep telling people the PS3 is next gen and worth the price.
I'm sorry, but I don't need that much space on a disc. That being said, mad props for this guy making those discs his b!tch.
