Hey, remember back when TDK boasted they had developed 100 GB Blu-ray media and were working on 200 GB capacties? Wel, seems they’ve gone and done it. There’s no consumer gear on the market which can use it (yet), but TDK announced today that it as developed a new Blu-Ray disc with a 200 GB capacity, double the capacity of the company’s earlier 100 GB prototype. Right now, the market is just barely lurching toward the idea of storing 25 GB on Blu-ray media, but it seems TDK is all about adding capacity to the format to keep film, video, and data mavens happy.

TDK Releases Bare Blu-ray Disc Media
TDK today said they were the first retailer to begin shipping bare Blu-ray Disc media for the consumer market. They’ve initially brought to retail 25GB recordable and rewritable Blu-Ray Disc media for $19.99 and $24.99 respectively.
Besides the 25GB Blu-Ray Discs, said TDK, they would also make available later this year dual layer 50GB recordable and rewritable discs. All of these discs, which are cartridge free, are capable of delivering 2x (72Mbps) rated recording speed and are being developed with a number of formulations and manufacturing techniques to increase the longevity of the media.
