This is amazing...I never thought, honestly, I would live to see the day when Holographics began to become common place in everyday life. With this new technology, we can expect the first disks (Which are about 5 1/4" big) to be considerably under $10 USD. Of course, burning such media might cost more, but I think that 300 Gigabytes per disk is more than worthy. Yeah, gigabytes. With read rates of 35-50 Megabytes/second.
More info here, for those interested. |

| Another month, another "breakthrough" in holographic storage. I'll be impressed when I can go buy one for a reasonable price. | |||

| I'll be more impressed if the consumer will have a need for this much capacity. double-layer DVDs are slow to catch on right now and I don't think they'll catch on for at least another 5 years. But for this much capacity--the only people I think would be interested are companies concerned with keeping a lot of information for a very long time.
If this technology ever is marketed towards the consumer, I give it at least 20 to 25 years. |

| If it's more reliable than HD's aand faster, then I switch whenever it's affordable. I heard about the hologram storing teqnique for years, so i'm not really surprised that it's around the corner.
They might take as long time to catch on as the DVD format, which was a quite few years, then DVD players became affordable and now people tend to have more than one DVD player...  |

| yeah I read something about holographic drives a little bit back, they seem kick ass, as soon as they are affordable then I can see myself getting one. You can never have to much space. | |||

| Not exactly, the price is starting to come close to regular CD-R or DVD±R prices. Just the other day I saw a pack of 20 DVD-R DL discs for $25 <_< | |||

| So basically like this topic: http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=3957
Just they're on discs instead of cubes now. |

Originally posted by BSD-Addict I believe this is as cheap as they are going to get. At my local computer store, 25 DVD-5 go for $5.25 or $.21/DVD or about $.4/GiB. 20 DVD-9 for $25 equates to $1.25/DVD or $.14/GiB. Given the difficulty of making DVD-9, that seems as cheap as it is gonna get. |

| Well, the point of all this space is for Archival purposes, but they can be used for other such media. You could make archives of video's, documents...Basically any type of data you wish. Plus the very fast read times it can offer.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that there doesn't have to be a purpose. It's another advancement into the technological age that makes people happy inside to accomplish. (edited by Rom Manic on 05-07-06 02:34 PM) |

| What does this mean for hardware? Can I anticipate, sometime in the near future, an affordable and practical internal hard drive with a capacity measured in multiple hundred gigabytes (or even in terabytes)? | |||

Rom Manic Since: 12-18-05 From: Detroit, WHAT?! Last post: 6306 days Last view: 6306 days |

| Yeah, essentially. Except it could technically be both a removable media and a non removable, in that sense because you could use it for both purposes.
It's got my money, at any rate. I'm getting stocks the moment someone endorses it or begins to manufacture it. |
