Soon you could be able to store more mp3s and podcasts in your pocket than you’ll ever have time to listen to. Fujifilm is working on a terabyte (1000 gigabyte) holographic memory, which it expects to launch in 2009. The terabyte holo-memory drive would be no bigger than a sugar cube and could access data much faster than existing memory technologies.
Holographic memory devices store binary bits of data by generating a 3D pattern of light interference inside a crystal or photopolymer, using lasers. Multiple bits can be written and read simultaneously, making the technique potentially very speedy.
Fujifilm has already developed a holographic memory disc capable of holding 300 gigabytes of data. Other companies currently working on holographic memory include IBM, Bell Labs and InPhase.

That will cost a bundle!
Initially yes, as in every new technology that emerges; but hopefully when it's mass produced for all, prices should hopefully be 'normal'.
I'm looking at THAT time! =)
You are doing a wonderful thing here on the Internet. I wish you the very best. Kindest regards.
I used this site to get information for that i had in my class. This is an excellent site for this information
Thank you for the great web site – a true resource, and one many people clearly enjoy
Hello, What a beautiful and awesome site. I adore what you’ve done with your setup and graphics. Thanks you so much.
Wonderful web site, was very useful. Lovely touch having this website. Thanks
[...] the surface it looks like this type of memory is poised to easily bypass the storage potential of Holographic Memory, and more importantly will probably use a lot less power. All that remains to be seen though is how [...]
