Holographic Storage Crams in 0.5TB Per Square Inch

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.'"

    The poor people would riot and over turn every lousy stinkin government on the face of the Earth. Just to turn around and set them all back up again.

  2. .5TB? by nurb432 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like marketing speak to me. Why not just call it 500g and call it a day?

    It also sounds rather low for true holographic technology. we proved ( all the way back in highschool ) that truly massive densities are possible, without *any* moving parts. How? well, i cant tell you that since its under development...
