InPhase announces Tapestry Hologram Storage
April 28th, 2008
InPhase Technologies has announced its Tapestry hologram storage product which will roll out this may, consisting of 120mm (5.25″) diameter clear plastic disks in a cartridge case. A blue laser will be used to store holographic images in the depth of the recording medium on the disk’s surface. Initial disks have a life span of 50 years, featuring read and write speeds of up to 20MB/s. Unfortunately, these won’t be cheap since as each Tapestry drive will cost up to $18,000 and individual disks cost $180 each, storing a total of 300GB. Maybe the seventh-generation Xbox or PlayStation will see this medium being used, and hopefully we won’t have another format war coming up.
