The Morning After: '5D' storage could fit 500TB on a CD-sized disc

Blu-rays are so done. Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created new data storage tech that could write and keep 500TB of data on a CD-sized glass disc. The 5D storage tech has higher writing speeds that might make it feasible to large-scale archiving projects. Each file uses three layers of nanoscale dots. The dots' size, orientation and position within the three standard dimensions make up the five "dimensions."This kind of optical storage isn’t new, but there were problems in the past, particularly slow writing speeds. The new technique has sped this process up substantially, to around 230 KB per second. And, yes, that sounds pretty slow, but it could provide a way to backup data, essentially forever. It's been estimated the storage medium could withstand temperatures up to 1,000 degrees C and last 13.8 billion years at room temperature without degrading.— Mat SmithI wish anyone other than Kanye had made the Stem PlayerFun, but pushing the limits of the technology.Terrence O'Brien/EngadgetSo what is it?

For instance, if you’re wondering what “Off the Grid” would sound like as an instrumental, you can simply turn down the vocals.
