Holographic Disc to Store One Terabyte of Data

I didn't bother reading the whole thread, but was there any talk when they're planning to get this on the consumers?
I wouldn't hold my breath for holographic storage, I remember years ago when there was talk about holographic storage, and that it would replace cd's (that was before dvd's if I remember correct)
There's always new, better technology close on the horizon, one can always wait for it or go for what is the current best tech.
And I don't theink there really is yet consumer need for holographic storage. Blu Ray storage space (250GB max?) is more than enough for mainstream consumer. Of course if you are lookin for storing huge amounts of data on one disc, more is always better.... but you'd have to be quite heavy p2p user to have such masive amount of video and audio.
Edit: sorry jvd if I interpret you wrong (I only read your last post, not previous) but if you think DVD and CD are enough for now, how do you think High Def material is going to fit on DVDs? HD is now, after all, not in the future when holographic storage will possibly be ready.

*cough* My 160GB feel very tight at the moment, with all the stuff i'm downloading.........
I just cannot wait til we get bigger storage recorders on our PCs, cause even DVDs now are just useless. I feel 18 all over again, when i was storing everything on CD and it took me ages to finish off cause i had too much... stuff...
I only speed-read what you posted l-b, but did you just say you feel like 18 and tight again

By the way, mods. Wouldn't it be a good idea if there were a forum of it's own for newcomers to introduce themselves. That way they would be better noted, instead of getting lost in some ancient topic.
Also there could be a requirement of one sample post in that thread, of chosen topic. That way it might be possible to ban before the person even actually gets to post anything in the "real" forums.

Knot a gud start.

Looks like somebody is seeing the end of the line for HD-DVD to me. Support of bigger format when your current one fails. Smart move for Toshiba if you ask me.
heh..... well .. one positive thing is that, with both Toshiba & Sony possibly now intending for HVD to be the next disc format they will support, it looks like if there is a format war with HD-DVD and Blu-ray, it hopefully won't last too long.. and maybe everyone will agree on some sort of HVD unified standard........

Ha won't happen anytime soon. 2007 is the nearest time that HVD will be available to the consumer. BRD is coming out at the end of this year. And in 2006 the push will be huge. The Blu-ray format has over 1500 movies right now ready to go, they won't put that off just to wait one more year.

They might . Depends on when hvd is ready . Bluray and hd-dvd could be locked in a war for the next 2-3 years anyway . So if this comes out in 2007 and holds 1 terabyte of info on it you could fit a season of hd-dvd content at 1080p on 1 of these . It could knock out both bluray and hd-dvd esp if costs are in line with those techs
Am I the only one who thinks $n hundred of an entry season on 1 disc is a bad idea? <scratch> - Bugger! Have to spend another $n hundred
For me, a hi-def disc format will do for the next tens year, by which time I expect we'll have streamed video on demand and not have physical stores, which would be the movie studios' dream come true. With pay-per-view only people won't be able to lend copies to their friends.

I just said roughly the same thing in another thread. The interesting thing here is that if this is true, it really stacks the deck against an HD disc format ever being hugely successful (say, DVD successful). How many years did it take DVD to overtake VHS? 4 years? Maybe 5. Since everyone had TVs that could take advantage of DVD, but only a small percentage of the market has HD sets (and in some regions, it's 0%), we can't assume an identical growth. I'm doubtful that an HD format will ever over take DVD before some other delivery mechanism takes root.Shifty Geezer said:Am I the only one who thinks $n hundred of an entry season on 1 disc is a bad idea? <scratch> - Bugger!

The question that NOBODY has asked is how expensive will HVD be? This is Blu-ray's biggest disadvantage, yet some people act like HVD will automatically be priced around HD-DVD's range.
Do you guys even know what HVD is about? The tech sounds great be really really expensive.
