InPhase delays Tapestry holographic storage solution to late 2009
Filed under: Storage
Wait, wait — you’re telling us InPhase Technologies may be the latest and greatest poster child for vaporware? Say it ain’t so! After promising (and promising) a holographic storage solution for upwards of three years now, the outfit is delaying its dead-to-the-world Tapestry solution yet again, this time to late 2009. In theory, the company would introduce a drive that could record up to 300GB on a $180 CD-sized disc around this time next year, but with Blu-ray already up to 50GB and Royal Digital Media introducing a 100GB alternative, who’s to say 300GB won’t look puny by November ‘09? And besides, we’re also hearing that GE’s Polymer Systems Lab is developing a “layered approach to holographic storage” that will soon result in — you guessed it — 300GB discs. The difference? GE is a real company.
