Turner Entertainment turns to holographic storage

`Turner Entertainment Networks has its lenses focused on holographic storage for the future of storing and retrieving its movies, cartoons and commercial spots. The network giant has completed a test of the cutting-edge storage technology, which it said will soon move the company away from tape- and disk-based storage.

�The holographic disk promises to retail for $100, and by 2010, it will have capacity of 1.6TB each. That�s pretty inexpensive,� said Ron Tarasoff, vice president of broadcast technology and engineering at Turner Entertainment. �Even this first version can store 300GB per disk, and it has 160MB/sec. data throughput rates. That�s burning. Then combine it with random access, and it�s the best of all worlds.�’

I want some. 🙂
