News InPhase To Demo Holographic Storage

Holgraphic storage is a staple of Sci-Fi, and has been in the R&D labs for donkey's years. InPhase seems to be ready to get it out of development and into the market, and will be demoing it's spin on the tech next week, according to ExtremeTech:

Holographic media will get an airing next week in Las Vegas, as InPhase Technologies promises a demonstration of its first prototype system.
In addition, InPhase firmed up its product plans, too -- the first InPhase drives will ship to commercial customers in 2006, at a larger 300-Gbyte capacity point.

Holographic storage has been in development for years, although InPhase announced its product, the Tapestry HSD5000 media, this past January. At the time, the company said a 200-GB drive, the HDS-200R, would ship this year with a 20-Mbyte transfer rate. For now, the technology is write-once, or WORM.
