THis company announced holographic 1TB discs (1000GB) that can transfer data at 1GB/s data rate.

The question, with Japan's superiority of tech, when will we see mass market of these discs in US? 10 years? 15? :roll:

didnt ibm develop a 1 terabyte punch card that was stamp sized like a year ago? whatever happened to that?

This is not a punch card, this is on CD/DVD format discs.

Hi,

There have been countless holographic storage claims over the last few years - but no commercial realisation.

Believe it when you see it.

Cheers,
