A company called Constellation 3D developed "Fluorescent Multilayer" disks about 6 or 7 years ago. They even had a working prototype if I recall correctly. Followed the story for a while and then the company went bankrupt due to an investor pulling out (mugs!)
Even back then they said they would produce first gen products of 120GB.
There's even a WIKI history......

Surely we should have moved away from a spinning disk by now!
