Ritek and CMC planning production of 20GB HD-DVD-RAM

agomes used our news submit to tell us "I found this reference to 20 GB HD-DVD-RAM that I find quite interesting. Is it my fault or this is some kind of "hidden" format to add to the fight?"


Ritek
and CMC Magnetics, the top two makers of optical discs in Taiwan,
exhibited Blu-ray Disc (BD) and HD-DVD discs at the recent 2006 Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in the US, with each company planning to start
volume production of the discs next quarter at the earliest, according to
the two companies.


Ritek
showcased 25GB BD-R (recordable, write once), 15GB HD-DVD-R, 15GB
HD-DVD-RW (rewritable) and 20GB HD-DVD-RAM (also rewritable) discs, all
single-sided single-layer, at CES, company spokesman Eric Ai pointed out.
The production of HD-DVD discs will come earlier than BD discs, Ai
indicated.

Well, a 20 GB HD-DVD RAM disc would be pretty sweet
indeed. We have to wonder how much they will cost and how fast can you write to
them? For a little more information, please visit DigiTimes for the story by
