OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES MARKET

 

INTRODUCTION

 Any form of storage where data is written and read using a laser is referred to as optical storage. Typically, data is written to optical mediums like digital versatile discs (DVDs) and compact discs (CDs).

 

Optical discs were once thought to be a possible alternative to hard disk drives (HDDs) in computing systems, but their capacity growth has lagged behind both HDDs and later flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs), which has largely limited the use of optical storage to long-term archiving and data backup.

 

However, optical discs are slower than the average HDD, much slower than the SSD, and have lower storage capacities than either. This is true even though optical media is more resilient to environmental factors than tape, HDDs, and SSDs.

 

Currently, Blu-ray disks are the fastest optical data storage devices .Optical media has evolved over time to include several formats like LaserDisc (LD), HD-DVD, write-once, read-many (WORM) optical cartridges, and more. Three formats have emerged as standards in the optical storage industry today from this mixture.

 

OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES MARKETRECENT DEVELOPMENT/INNOVATION

 

S.NOOverview of DevelopmentDetails of Development
1.Sony is working on a next-generation optical disk storage system for the data server market.
A more than 40GB optical data storage device with the provisional name "5.25-inch Ultra Density Optical (UDO) Format" has been announced by Sony Corporation. Due to their big capacity, long-term stability, high transfer rate, and random access capabilities, MO systems have become increasingly popular in the data storage industry. MO systems are frequently used to store data for LAN/Web servers, as well as for storing medical picture data and formal public papers, in addition to PCs and workstations. 

 

Higher density and quicker reads are two improvements Purdue University researchers are working to make to optical storage. If the technology is developed successfully, Blu-ray discs may no longer be needed for storage.

 

The storage media acts at a nanoscale level by plasmonic color creation, together with metallic nanoparticles and ultrathin metasurfaces. The researchers claim that they have already surpassed the fastest readout speed of the most recent Blu-ray disc by 143 times, or 18.3 Gbps. Additionally, they may hold 5% more data than a Blu-ray disc.

 

OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

 

Optical Data Storage Devices Market Size

 

The Global Optical Data Storage Devices Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

 

OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES MARKETNEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

 In Las Vegas, Folio Photonics will present the first enterprise-scale Optical Data Storage Devices solution ever. The new technology is intended to make data archives accessible, active, digitally secure, and sustainable while substantially lowering initial expenses and the total cost of ownership of data storage and backup.

 

Currently, businesses all over the world store and back up their data in sizable data centers, edge centers, cloud data warehouses, and tape and disc storage. Each storage method, however, has distinct benefits and drawbacks in terms of energy usage, accessibility, dependability, and pricing.

 

Folio Photonics, a business that specializes in data storage innovation, will unveil the first enterprise-scale optical data storage system. The company asserts that by utilizing revolutionary developments in materials, it has produced a system that outperforms conventional disc storage.

 

The new Folio Photonics storage system was created by professor Kenneth Singer at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) using technology that was licensed from the university's National Science Foundation Center for Layered Polymeric Systems.

 

The system, according to the manufacturer, is an upgraded write/read optical storage device with large capacity. The storage capacity of a single Folio disc is equivalent to that of more than 100 DVDs, and a 10-terabyte disc is in the long-term agenda.

 

The storage layers—16 or more per disc—are incredibly thin, highly dense, and capable of random access. Through a unique confocal optical pickup unit that can track through layers at high spin speeds, data is written to and accessed from a proprietary drive.

 

OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES MARKETRECENT PARTNERSHIPS 

 

S.NOOverview  Details 
1.Philips and Benq collaborate on optical storage.The firms stated that they will collaborate on the development of optical storage products, first focused on DVD+rewritable (DVD+RW) drives. The firms believe that by working together, they can bring quicker DVD+RW devices and other novel optical storage solutions to market ahead of the competition. Philips and Benq, both based in Amsterdam, issued a joint statement. According to the firms, once the technologies are established, Benq will concentrate on delivering speed increases while Philips works on innovations and new storage approaches.
