Holographic Memory Drives


Recommended Posts

I think that the big item here is not just the huge potential storage per disk, but more important the speed at which it can be read . This reduces the need for buffering or caching of data. Since it is written and read in "blocks" as opposed to individual bits of data you get much more efficient read and write.

And its also highly removable. Think about it, your own computer on a disk you can store in your wallet!

okay we were promised this with usb drives, and holographic hard drives are 30c a piece, but unfortunatly the current drive readers is about $3000 a pop, which your not going to find everywhere.

It definatly is the medium of the future. The unreal read/write speed is compareable to memory, okay its not quite as fast, BUT imagin having 6 of these drives raided on USB2 or FireWire devices, thats 720MB/s... though of course other limitations do exist.
