"Holographic storage drives and other products based on holographic storage technology may come to market as early as this year. Tokyo-based Optware Corp. announced plans this week to create products based on its HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc) technology, first for the health care, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical markets, and eventually for the home market, reports eWeek.
"Optware's HVD-based products will store between 100GB and 1TB of data and be able to transmit data as fast as 1G bit per second.
"Optware's announcement came on the heels of a similar announcement earlier this month [January] from InPhase Technologies Inc. of Longmont, Colo."
