In the meantime I don’t see either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD being that significant and will keep adding to our DVD collection. Sure, a year from now I might feel differently when the Blu-Ray inventory is greater but keep in mind there are still a lot of people, including families, who don’t even own an HDTV yet, much less an HDTV that supports 1080p.

This has been the promise and allure of holographic storage, but there is another storage type that could be on the horizon beyond that.

Both have their pre’s and con’s and both have an impressive list of big companies supporting them. A short summary about both: ... Who needs blu-ray (or hd-dvd) anyway?

If this type of storage will only be available through the lucent spinoff, I can't see it gaining much traction.

All those moving parts increase the failure rate on these devices plus the fact that upgrading to the faster, better storage medium comes out frequently. Imagine being able to buy a device that writes/rewrites 1 TB at a time credit sized cards and will last a lifetime with proper care because they have no moving parts. I suppose there might be another upgrade to petabyte of data in the same size, but with a petabyte, what couldn't be saved? Now <i>that</i> would be seriously disruptive. The other part of this, which some others are already pointing out: what type of consumers need this much space? Music and video saved uncompressed uses lots of space. Digital life folks who want to keep lots of raw pictures and videos, but John Q. Public probably isn't going to have tons of (legal) data to be saved. 2006 is really shaping up like an exciting year!

On a cost/GB level that's damned good, but it's a bit expensive as a transfer medium (handing someone a disk worth 100$). If they came down to 25$/disk that might be worthwhile though. That said, the readers are supposed to be only about 300-500$, which is about where DVD writers were, what, 5 years ago? That's not bad :) Read something earlier today (maybe on Joystiq?) that said there’ll be 1TB disks by 2010, but that they’ll cost 100$.
