Default Plastic disk storage

Has anyone read the article on the new hard disk storage media being tested,
plastic. Like the old punch cards, data is stored on plastic disks by
making indentions and then erased by heating plastic up to remove the
indention. The storage per inch is 5 times that of magnetic hard disks.

Except for the data density, i would've said "CD's"

It might be DVD or BlueRay?
