The world's first movie recording on a preformatted Holographic Disc.

The world's first movie recording on a preformatted Holographic Disc.

Holographic recording technology records data on discs in the form of laser interference fringes, enabling existing discs the same size as today's DVDs to store as much as one terabyte of data (200 times the capacity of a single layer DVD), with a transfer speed of one gigabyte per second (40 times the speed of DVD). This approach is rapidly gaining attention as a high-capacity, high-speed data storage technology for the age of broadband.

About freakin' time! I was a big fan of this tech about ten years ago. Took the sorry bastards this long to develop the first real working model. However, the specs are pretty nice. I sure wouldn't mind a terabyte on a disc and faster too. Of course the real question is how much the bloody thing is gonna cost. It better be cheap. I want my terabytes dammit!
