NEWS C3D, a Nasdaq-quoted provider of storage devices, has been touting a series of high-capacity products developed by its Israeli arm. The company has demonstrated prototypes of its Fluorescent Multi-layer Disk (FMD) and Card (FMC) optical data products. It claimed a 10-layer FMD-ROM disk - in the same format as a standard CD-ROM or DVD - can hold up to 140GB of data, over a dozen times more than the hard drives that come in many of today's PCs. A credit card-sized 20-layer FMC ClearCard-ROM can store about 10GB, it said. The company attributes these capacities to its focus on 3D, or 'volumetric' techniques, which allow multiple layers on disks and cards.
