The only question is price? If it's affordable it could be the long term archive we need. This plus a 1.6 Tb raid for projects would round out a good at home HD system.
Awsome find!

300GB disc would hold 12 hours of 720p24...
Yeah, that's a lot more data in a disc the same size as a 32 minute DVCPRO-HD tape.
And, I bet it will a lot less expensive than a DVCPRO-HD deck (25k) Awesome find, dude!!

The In-Phase is pretty cool. When you start calculating what HD tape costs, storage on tape is somehere around $2.00 a gig, the InPhase brings it down to about .35. Big difference.
The key diffenernce in working yourself into this technology is recognizing a need for how to deal with archive material, and putting it into practice. This may not seem attactive to a number of people, but it will make you organized. I look at my office, not very organized. I look at the files on my computer, very organized. I can find anything on my computer, can't say that for my office except eventually I know I will find it. ;-)
Best,

Has anyone seen any forcasts as to the time it will take to implement this holographic disk technology. I fear we will be in another format war...

Format wars is not an issue here. Just like when Iomega created their zip disks. It's proprietary technology that requires you to buy into their system. You buy the hardware and media and pray they don't go belly up.

Pretty cool. External firewire/USB 2.0 drives, P2, tape, holographic disks, Blueray/HDDVD, what else do we need? =D
Just letting ya know, I went to Fry's today and there are all kinds of Firewire/USB 2.0 to IDE devices from full enclosures to small circuit boards. Pretty cool stuff.
I've heard and read a lot about holographic storage technology and I'm glad to see it finally coming to fruition, though it's still a little while off before we get it in full capacity, it should be something very interesting to watch out for next year! ^_^

Of course, there's alot of other useful information in the article, it's just that this particular table dealt specifically with the issue of HD storage.
