Meh…. Japan’s been pitching holographic data storage since the early 2Ks — at least —LMK when I can buy a magic holographic zip drive and I’ll be back.

"a 5-inch glass platter." Found the weak point...
Not if I have anything to do with it
Anyone get the IO on this device? Cause I'm guessing its going to be less good than magnetic storage.
So, you're telling me magnetic taps is not our real end solution? I'm not buying your new fancy ideas.
Would be cool as a backup medium. Unload a bunch of warez from my main disks, store on this read-only medium taking up very little space, providing a huge collection to my media server.
