Holographic recording technology records data on discs in the form of laser interference fringes, enabling existing discs the same size as today's DVDs to store as much as one terabyte of data (200 times the capacity of a single layer DVD), with a transfer speed of one gigabyte per second (40 times the speed of DVD). This approach is rapidly gaining attention as a high-capacity, high-speed data storage technology for the age of broadband.

Ah, technology:)

Not even second... holostore devices have been on the market for more than 5 years. The link in the first post is only novel in that they have taken a normal holostore disk and added the servo track so a normal DVD drive mechanism can be used for the head. This would make already existing holostore drives cheaper. So instead of only big companies using them, maybe home users will have a chance to purchase them now.
