beyond Blu-Ray, HD-DVD: InPhase Holographic Disc Storage System 300-GBytes
|
|
| Radeon350@yahoo.com 2005-04-14, 7:45 am |
| 200 GigaByte and 300 GigaByte Storage -
on a disc / system called WORM (Write Once, Read Many)
"InPhase Technologies will be showing off a holographic video recorder
next week with a new type of 3D storage that can hold 20 movies on a
single disc"
"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."

300 GB, that is a roughly ~10 fold leap beyond Blu-Ray (1x) or HD-DVD
and still a ~6x leap beyond 50 GB Blu-Ray (2x)
*20Mb transfer rate on the 200GB model, (a little slow, no?)
The only thing that might be able to compete with InPhase's Holographic
Disc storage system is the FMD / FMD-ROM (Fluorescent Multilayer Disk)
by Constellation 3D which can hold something like 140 GB in its first
generation, and TeraByte+ capacity in its second generation.
(correct me if I'm wrong on that)
Constellation 3D's FMD / FMD-ROM was announced about 5 years ago.
btw, InPhase is aiming for 1.6TB of space, so it seems both InPhase
and Constellation 3D have similar storage-space goals.
I wonder when computers, consumer electronics, playstations, etc will
be able to have this technology (Holographic or Fluorescent disks) at
affordable mass-market prices ?

As important as videogames have become financially, and with the market's
ability to change formats without alienating customers (hard to do with
movies), it might work the other way around: their incorporation in
videogame consoles might be what brings their prices down to mass-market
levels.

If the market functions true to form then computers will be able to have
this technology at affordable mass-market prices right about the time that
hard disks with significantly greater capacity become cheaper than the new
technology.

Who on earth would want that much memory... mind you, I said the same
when 100Mb HD's came out...

Wasn't it Bill Gates who said, in the early days of PC's that 640K ought to
be enough memory for anyone? I have 2 gigabytes of fast RAM in this box
and it's just enough for present needs and probably not for future! My
first disc drive was a 5.25 inch floppy drive by Micropolis with a
controller for the S100 Bus and an OS. That cost more in those-days'
dollars than my 120gb and WinXP cost in today's bucks. Yet we complain!

That's an urban legend. Gates denies it and nobody has ever been able to
produce the source. The "640k barrier" was established by the location of
the video memory in the PC, which was an IBM design decision--MS/PC-DOS
allowed a good deal more than that if the video memory was relocated.
