300 Gb Dvd? - GoFuckYourself.com

Check this out...

"A computer disc about the size of a DVD that can hold 60 times more data will go on sale in 2006, according to its American developer InPhase Technologies, a Lucent spin off.

The discs, holding 300GB each, use so-called Tapestry holographic memory technology to store data by interference of light. They are also able to read and write data at 10 times the speed of a normal DVD."

interseting stuff. they've been promising holographic data storage for a while now.

That is very cool, I am sure this will make a lot of peeps happy.....

If this works right and isnt too expensive, they are filthy rich ;)

jimthefiend · 11-29-2005, 08:52 AM

Dre, it will be years before the average home user will be able to afford it.

The corporate IT market will eat it the fuck up though.

Isn't that Blue Ray, what the PS3 will be using?

Vitasoy · 11-29-2005, 12:12 PM

Sweet.. But I'm sure it's going to cost a pretty penny

Dalai lama · 11-29-2005, 12:48 PM

I dont see this taking off soon, 300 gig is toomuch people prefer buying a 300 gig extern harddisk instead

dready · 11-29-2005, 02:06 PM

Fucking A, this is the answer to my prayers.

A company in Japan has been developing holographic storage for some five years now, it's going to be a reality in the near future and it's going to kick the living crap outta other optical formats easily. I can't wait for semi-reasonable priced video storage, hard drives are getting expensive to have just laying around.

last time i check it was not a dvd, but a hard disk

Tapestry can store more than 26 hours of broadcast-quality high-definition video on a single 300GB disk, recorded at a data rate of 160Mbps. The discs are 13cm in diameter and a little wider and thicker than conventional DVDs.

Sounds like a disc to me?

wedouglas · 11-29-2005, 02:46 PM

Blue Ray technologies are completley different. It talks about them in a few of the articles about the holographic techs.
