Depending on what formats appear in 5 years, thats a possibility. HVD shows prospects of reaching about 4TB, and BRD should be able to hit around 200GB. As for speed, a 300x flash drive is roughly eqivalent to a 1x speed Blu Ray drive. Hardly the speed demon. It will get faster with maturation, but in terms of speed, and capacity, optical media will outpace it for years to come. |
Where do you get this from?
Just checkec Wikipedia:
BluRay - 36Mbit/sec (4.5 MB/sec)
Flash drives/USB keys:
Old - 1MB/sec
New/current - 10-30MB/sec
Future (spec'd) - 60MB/sec
...

No question that optical discs are the way to go re: huge storage space. But they generally suck in terms of read/write speed.
