Toshiba Invests in Holographic Discs

HD-DVD isn’t even on the market yet and Toshiba is looking beyond HD-DVD to what comes next. Toshiba has invested in Optware, a holographic optical disc developer. Toshiba is one of four companies who invested a total of $14 million into Optware. Optware’s Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is DVD sized, but stores more than 1TB (or 10024GB) of information. Optware is faster too - reading data at 1Gbps.
