Holographic Storage Crams in 0.5TB Per Square Inch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday March 28, 2006 @03:34PM from the drives-that-can-hold-vista dept.

An anonymous reader writes "VNUNet is reporting that a company called InPhase Technologies claims they have successfully recorded 515GB of data per square inch to capture the record for highest data density. From the article: 'InPhase promised to begin shipping the first holographic drive and media later this year. The first generation drive has a capacity of 300GB on a single disk with a 20Mbps transfer rate. The first product will be followed by a family ranging from 800GB to 1.6TB capacity.'"
