    Errm, if you look at the pricing its not 300 dollars for a disk but $180.00, (see this). Still thats quite a bit of money.

    InPhase Technologies have a system that writes 300GB holographic discs and they have a roadmap that goes to 1.6TB.

    They cost 18K for the drive and $300 for the discs.

    They are expensive now, but when they drop they will make it worthwhile.

  6. This is the main use for holographic storage by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Digital Media Archiving Challenges Hollywood

    Archive is what holographic storage is targeted at. The movie and broadcast industry is pretty geared for it - Right now they have to keep copying tapes and hard drives over and over because they either suffer bit rot, or hard drives crash. The holographic media from Inphase Technologies (Drives were running on display this week at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show in vegas) has a 50 year archival life. A lot of people look at the price of the drive (18k) and say, "I'll never backup my pron collection to that" and miss the point that nobody gives a rats ass about your pron collection, but for real archive purposes, people will fork out the money to preserve large, expensive content assets.

  7. WRONG - Holographic has a 50 year life by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Holographic Storage a Reality in 2006?

    Using the same processes used to certify other media, holographic media has been proven to 50 years, it DOES NOT suffer the same bit rot as CD/DVD. Hence, being able to call it archival grade. Read the papers.

    On Inphase's web site they have a PDF file with details on their media.

    http://www.inphase-tech.com/products/professional/ download/DataSheet_MEDIA.pdf

    You don't have to worry about inserting it into an ordinary CD/DVD drives because it's in a 135x153x11 mm cartridge. This is exactly the same dimensions of existing MO cartridges. I suppose one could cram one of their holo-cartridges into a MO drive or maybe if one had one of those ancient CD-ROMs that used a caddy...

    I like this from the PDF: "Recording Format: Phase Conjugate Polytopic Holographic". Not sure what that means, exactly, but it sounds cool.

    Why are we dependent on Japanese technology which to me is very average.(maybe because we don't have as many electronic manufacturers like we once did.)
