300GB Discs

New Scientist is reporting that InPhase Technologies, along with Hitachi Maxell, are set to release holographic storage discs in late 2006. The discs will initially have the capacity to read and write up to 300GB of data, and will be 10 times faster than today's DVDs. InPhase also claims that they could theoretically store up to 1.6 terabytes of data with read/write at 960 megabits per second.

Just in time for me to put my entire movie collection on a disc!
