Maxell focuses on holographic storage

Posted on Monday, November 28, 2005 by MegaZone

Information storage media company Maxell has said it will launch its first holographic storage products in September 2006. The first removable drive will have a capacity of 300GB and a throughput of 160mbps.

We just had a little discussion on holographic storage in the comments on an earlier post. I have to admit, this is coming to market sooner than I expected. I thought it’d be another year or two, not next year. But it does look to be targeted as I expected, for data, backups, etc. 300GB on one disc is rather more than most consumers will need.
