heh, 300 GB is nothing compared to what else is on the horizon. The
other holographic technology, the one proposed by an alliance of
Japanese companies lead by Fuji Film and Optware, HVD ~ Holographic
Versatile Disc, will reportedly start off at about 1 TeraByte or so,
and go upto 3.9 TeraBytes.
The InPhase technology ranges from 200 GB to 1.6 TeraBytes by
comparison.
If that weren't enough, Michael Thomas of the company called Colossal
Storage, who says that HVD might have a fatal flaw, is working on
something called (get ready to swallow this one) "Colossal Atomic
Holographic DVR disc drives"
"each one of which would be equal to a 10,000 to 100,000 Gigabyte Disk
Drive"
and I think that's the same as 10 to 100 TeraBytes
here's the 2 articles I've seen on this bad mofo
http://p2pnet.net/story/3855

the main features of this "ultimate" storage technology
"Advantage of Rewritable Atomic Holographic Optical Disk Drive Storage
Colossal Storage wants its 3D Volume Holographic Optical Storage to be
an " ALL IN ONE " Storage Solution replacing Ram, Rom, DRAM, Ovonic,
Flash, 2D Optical Drives, Tape Drives, and Hard Drives for " ALL IN ONE
" complete system hardware storage requirements."
* New novel storage media - Ferroelectric Molecular Holographic
Optical
* New novel integrated semiconductor FE Read/Write Head
* New novel recording using UV/Blue Laser Diode and electric field
transducer
* Potential bit density far exceeding present/future drive
technology
* Extremely Fast Switch Sub nanosecond State Change
* Extremely High Read and Write Data Transfer Rates
* Extended Temperature Range
* No Altitude Requirements
* Dense Packed Crystallis with densities >200 Tbits/sq.in.
* 8 cents per Gigabyte versus Hard Drives cost of $ 1.00 cents
Gigabyte
* 1 10 Terabyte Removable Rewritable Fedisk will be $ 45
* 1 10 Terabyte Fedisk = 20,000 DVD's or 4,000 Blu-Ray
* Download 6,840 raw uncompressed TV Hours
* Initial cost per gigabyte be greater than hard drives to
recapture R&D expenses
* No Power Requirements for Media - Non Volatile Media
* Much higher sales margins for media, heads, and drive than data
storage
