That will great if it is ever marketed in a cost effective form for the small business owner/enthusiast that needs that kind of storage/backup. With the predicted pricepoint of the drive currently at the $3000-$4000 range it will be quite a while before it trickles down.

Only problem is that UDO-Ray will be direct competitor to TeraDisc, thereby creating a long, drawn out format war once again.

Format wars are not a bad thing as long as you're not an early adopter.

I jumped on the Betamax bandwagon early on. A better format that never caught on.
