Have you heard of Blu-Ray? Its one of the latest technology in the 21st Century. Blu-Ray is just a disc, like your CD-R or DVD-R. But Blu-Ray have a very distinct different as compare to other media types; that is Blu-Ray have a huge storage capacity of between 25GB to 50GB per discs and its gaining more storage space as time to come.
Due to it huge storage space on the disc itself, this means that much more data can be stored which in terms means that clearer movies, music, mp3 etc can be achieved. Another great advantage of Blu-Ray is that, you can store your important data you have on your hard disk into Blu-Ray.
This prevent you the headache of trying to retrieve your data when your hard disk crashes. Blu-Ray can be a good choice or alternative for backing-up of your important data.
I believe nowadays, hard disk storage capacity is huge, commonly used is between 120GB to 500GB, Blu-Ray have 25GB - 50GB storage space. Lets say you have a 250GB hard disk, you only need 5 Blu-Ray discs as compare to using about 53 DVD-R.
Below are some of the specifications of Blu-Ray:
Media type: High-density optical disc

Capacity: 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer)

Blu-Ray technology is developed by Blu-ray Disc Association.
Blu-Ray is use in storage, High-definition video and PlayStation 3 games etc.
