Traxdata has today announced the launch of its HD DVD-R media.

The HD DVD provides three times the amount of digital storage than a standard single layer DVD, offering a capacity of 15GB (single layer).

The Traxdata HD DVD media received class-A verification for its 1x HD DVD-R SL (high-definition DVD-R single-sided single-layer) discs with 15GB storage capacity from the DVD Forum in May 2006. Class-A verification indicates that a product meets the minimum specifications laid out by the DVD Forum. Future product releases from Traxdata include HD DVD-RAM and HD DVD-RW that are due out towards the end of this year.

The company did not give pricing details.
