It holds up to 1 TB. As far as I'm aware, it's still in the experimental stage, though. There is, in fact, a disc-based form of this technology. It holds up to 1 TB.

They may not have the penetration in the market that other technologies have, but Zip drives are not dead. And as such, most fringe technologies do see some light as they are created and marketed.

The way I see it, this technology is for the momment "papper-ware".

I think this technology will probably come in a CD like form as well, as that usually makes things easier to adopt. Maybe we will see BLU-Ray and HD-DVD drives or BLU-Ray and HVD drives? Who knows where technology will go. I do know though that to really be a competitor, most of these technologies really have to work hard on their nieche market.

But as far as disc memory goes, I think BLU-Ray is the right step to take, because as the layers of data keep increasing, so does the fragility of them, DVDs are easy enough to ruin, HD-DVDs will be even easier to do so, so my bets are on the BLU-Rays.
