When 50GB isn’t good enough: 67GB Blu-ray discs coming soon.

If we were to add up every memory, every recollection good or bad, we would end up with terabytes if not petabytes of data. Of course, actually putting a solid number on a humans lifelong memories is near impossible. However, if you find yourself using Blu-rays to document each and every one of those moments or simply torrent legally download tons of stuff, those 50GB dual layer Blu-rays are no doubt bouncing off their limit.

For when 50GB isn’t enough, you’ll soon be able to reach for that bigger dual layer Blu-ray disc compliments of Sony and Panasonic. Their joint effort in further developing the i-MLSE (Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation) technology will net roughly an additional 8GB per layer — up to a total of 33.4GB of data per layer to be exact.

For now, information regarding price and availability is nil. I guess another question would be how many of you actually use Blu-ray for backup purposes as opposed to external hard drives?
