LP Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Source: Official Xbox Magazine, February 2006, Pg 90 UNVEILED Another next-generation optical storage format: holographic. If you thought HD-DVD (45GB Capacity) or Blu-Ray (50GB max) were cool, get a load of this: Holographic discs use 3D halographic images to store 1.6 terabytes or (1600gb) on a single disk. That means it could hold approximately 320 copies of halo 2, The first generation of the media, due out at the end of the year, will hold "only" 300GB, We'd like to see Tomonobu Itagaki, who's been critical of the Xbox 360's 9GB DVD capacity, complain about that for the Xbox 720. *speachless* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart_G Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Psh, some how i dont think this will get into the mainstream as it seems to me it will be a rather expensive form of data storeage. Still rather interesting though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Would anyone actually have enough data to put onto those discs? :? ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_G Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Possibly big companys that host several servers which take up hundred of thousands of gbs of space. Hell, even Jagex might have a use for these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostRanger Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Would anyone actually have enough data to put onto those discs? :? The books in the U.S. Library of Congress, one of the largest libraries in the world, contain a total of about 20 terabytes of text. Neglecting images, the content could be stored on a little more than 6 of these discs. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apinagez Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 But there aren't many of those libraries in the world. Anyway, the world tends to have more and more data as times goes on. I can see these being mainstream in like 20 years, when we will think a double core processor is completely jurassic :P ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade995 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Wow :shock: . The first type of disk (300gb) is almost double my hard drive! I have read before that the disk can be written over after the data is there. I also heard that the disk is a couple inches think, can anybody confirm this?

Also itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s worth mentioning that Tapestries cd-drive (Not a burner) costs $15000 and the cd's cost $120, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a long way until they become affordable and burnable.

jak722 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 New storage systems already? But I havent even used a USB drive yet... :( The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I don't really see what all the fuss is about. You can store more stuff, like always. Was this really so unexpected or surprising?
