Why wait for these drives? You can get 60GB UDO media for about $70 list today and the drives cost 1/6 the holographic drives. Plus there are a ton of libraries and appliances available since the drive is standard size versus holographic. Automation of the large holographic drives will be awkward. I think you can get 38TB in one library now from Plasmon. IBM sells some models too.
