Diary of a Bad Golfer

Toshiba continues to improve HD DVD storage capacity. At the HD DVD Promotion Group’s press conference this evening, the company announced it has developed 51GB triple-layer rewritable and ROM media.

This capacity is up from the company’s previous explorations of a higher-capacity 45GB triple-layer disc. Currently, HD DVD maxes out at a 30GB dual-layer disc. This capacity is 1GB greater than rival Blu-ray Disc, which tops out at 50GB.

The company spoke in terms of getting the disc approved as part of the HD DVD spec by the end of 2007.
