Holographic Storage prepares to trump HD-DVD

November 29, 2005 at 10:17 am· Filed under Technology, Hardware

Holographic Storage Information storage media company, Maxell, is preparing the first holographic storage discs for September 2006. Storing data on light-sensitive crystals each disc will be able to store 300GB of information. That’s over 240 hours of TV broadcasts or 1.6 million high resolution photos. Within five years that storage is expected to increase to 1.6 terabytes.

The discs are expected to retail at $100 each, no word on how much a holographic drive will cost.

This begs the question, when will the holographic iPod be coming out?
