Holographic ribbon challenges magnetic tape with 50-year longevity and 200TB cartridges | British startup unveils holographic tape that promises 50-year data lifespan
HoloMem's technology distinguishes itself from earlier holographic storage ventures by using mass-produced, low-cost components. The company's drive relies on a standard $5 laser diode and polymer sheets...
Forward-looking: A British startup is taking a novel approach to data storage by developing a ribbon-based cartridge system that uses multi-layer holographic technology and promises a lifespan of more than 50 years. HoloMem's new drive and cartridge are designed to fit directly into existing Linear Tape-Open library racks, requiring no changes to the software that manages these widely used archival systems. The company's drive relies on a standard $5 laser diode and polymer sheets that are already manufactured at scale for other industries, unlike previous efforts that required expensive, specialized hardware.
