Hitachi revealed this week at CEATEC JAPAN 2007 that it has successfully developed a quad-layer Blu-ray Disc that is capable of storing 100GB of data. Hitachi claims that its quad-layer technology would be compatible with existing Blu-ray Disc drives after a firmware update. They are now working on improving the signal quality of its quad-layer technology so that it will be ready for market. It is still unclear what costs, if any, would be added onto the manufacturing side of the equation.
