Similar in size to today's magneto optical drives, this holographic storage system will initially feature removable 130 mm discs with a capacity of 300 Gbytes--or about 50 times as much as a DVD and 460 times as much as a CD. With further development, the same holographic technology could produce discs capable of storing far more data. "Our roadmap is for 1.6 terabyte discs," says Lisa Dhar, InPhase's vice president for media development.
To record data holographically,...
