Blu-Ray disks can store significantly more data than DVDs due to a smaller laser wavelength that allows for denser data storage. Blu-Ray uses a blue-violet laser with a wavelength of 405nm compared to DVD's 650nm red laser, allowing Blu-Ray disks to store up to 50GB of data. Blu-Ray also features improved data encoding and supports high-definition video playback without quality loss. As technology advances, Blu-Ray disk capacity continues to increase, with demonstrations of disks holding over 500GB.
