You can buy blank Blu-ray discs in capacities of 25GB, 50GB, and 100GB. The maximum capacity of a Blu-ray is 128GB, and they can only be found in Japan. Sony Group Japan is the only company in the world that manufactures 128GB Blu-rays. This could be bad news for data hoarders...

(Blu-ray movies should be fine. This likely won't affect them.)
