The developments in optical storage the last few years have been great, and today we have learned that Sony and Panasonic have worked together to get more out of Blu-ray technologies.
Sony and Panasonic have recently used i-MLSE (Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation) technologies, this should allow the next generation of Blu-ray media to store a lot more data.
According to SlipperyBrick’s article these developments should allow single layer Blu-ray discs to store up to 33.4GB of data, where as dual layer discs will be able to store up to 66.8GB of data.
