In latest issue of 'Official XBox Magazine' they show a picture of a disc they cal 'HVD' and claim that it has a capacity of 1 terabyte. Which I think is 1024GB!? Is this anything to do with the colossal development? :?:

I'm sure that holographic storage will some day replace Blu-ray/HD-DVD, but this is more hype than anything else.

HVD is the name of a holographic disc format being developed by a Japanese company called Optware Corp. The 1TB size claimed is what they expect to be able to store with future developments of the technology, so don't get your hopes up. They plan to introduce 200GB discs for enterprise users in 2006, and cheaper versions in 2007-2008. Apparently the first drives will cost $20,000 and the 200GB discs will cost about $100, so I don't even think that enterprise users will be interested. Here's a few links with more information about the technology:
