now luckily with compression it should not be that drastic (i.e. UHD 3D should not need 8X the capacity and bandwidth on the disk compared to 1080p) the same way that 1080p 3D was more like 1.5X instead of 2X but it will still be a large enough number to make it hard to include in the specs and that is a simply on "frame" discussion where everything else is similar, add 60p that has 2.5 times the frames or HDR....

If we had 1GB disks with 1000 Mbps the question would in some way make sense but we don't so there is no use to put in specs that won't or can't be used

what I mean is this, when LOTR EE was announced there were many complaining that two hours into the 4h movies they would need to change disks, now imagine what would happen if it was every hour or 1/2 hour?

I think you've brought up the reason there is currently no 4K 3D spec...it would require too much bandwidth.
