 | They look interesting, but is the drive really as huge as it looks in the picture?  Originally Posted by Blitzen You owe it to yourself to click here really.

| It looks like the size of a small shuttle. But I supose it does have to have lasers shooting round in side it. Why does the face plate seem to stick out on all the sides? Can you slot it like 4 drive bays or some thing?  To infintiy, and beyond! |

| I've had a demo video downloaded from the Inphase website at work for at least a year. I'd really like to think this could be the leap in optical storage that has been needed since CDs. |

| TBH I don't think bare-disc format could going any further. As the capacity gets bigger the contaimination (dirt / fingerprint / scratches) will be the problem. I don't think protective casing really help much.

Conventional HDD's are eventually going to be replaced with flash-based variants as they're faster, run cooler, use less power, etc etc. I can't say I'll be sorry to see mechanical HDD's go the way of the dodo  (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

| There was talk a while ago of "holographic memory" chips, and another technology which stacked non-volatile ram in 3d arrays, but I've not seen much of either lately (granted, I've not actually been looking for it) (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |
