Turner Testing Holographic Storage

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the as-the-world-turners dept.

Izmunuti writes "An article in ComputerWorld describes tests by Turner Entertainment of a holographic storage system from InPhase Technologies as a possible replacement for magnetic tape for storing their movies and other programs for playback and broadcast. The article states that each holographic disk holds 300 GBytes." Even more impressive is the cost per terabyte estimated for just a few years down the road.

    but this and this is. Why did the summary only link to the press release and not the info? I had to browse the site a little get some interesting stuff.

    And for my fellow PDF viewing overlords, read this this and this.

    People once said the same thing about blue laser hd-dvd's. And, before that, they were saying it about DVD too.
