Hardware News TDK Doubles DVD-RAM Disc Capacity Doug Olenick New York 12:24 PM EDT, Thurs., Oct. 08, 1998 TDK has developed the technology to manufacture single-sided 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs, almost doubling the capacity of current DVD-RAM media, the company reported yesterday. Kuniyoshi Matsui, who became TDK's president on Oct. 1, said that unlike the 2.6GB media now available, the new discs can be read by DVD movie players and DVD-ROM drives. The larger-capacity discs are manufactured by reducing the mark length of the "pits" in which data are stored from .61 micrometers to .40 micrometers. A 4.7GB DVD RW disc has also been developed by TDK, but will not ship until there is a proven need for it in the market, Matsui said. TDK did not have a ship date or price for the new media, but a 2.6GB DVD-RAM disc sells for about $39.
