Holographic Storage Coming
from the save-me-from-my-hard-drive-misery dept
e z writes "The Economist has an article saying that holographic storage is moving forward, with actual products coming out next year. This is the future of storage and will put hard drives out onto the scrap bin where they belong." Considering my recent hard drive experience, I'd say they can't go away fast enough. However, since this technology is still quite new, I'd guess that there will still be some hurdles before we end up replacing regular hard drives.
