InPhase Technologies is one step closer to bringing holographic storage drives to market. On Wednesday, the company plans to demonstrate the first fully functioning prototype of its Tapestry holographic drive, which the company expects to begin shipping next year. The drive will be demonstrated at the 2005 Storage Visions conference, being held in Las Vegas this week.
InPhase's holographic storage media stores data in three-dimensional holograms cut into a polymer material 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) thick that is placed between two 130 mm (5.1-inch) plastic discs. Because holographic devices are able to store data in three-dimensional "pages," they are expected to have a much larger capacity than CDs or DVDs, which store data only on the disc's surface. By 2009, InPhase hopes to be shipping drives that can store as much as 1.6TB on a single disc, she said.
