Disks that can hold up to 500GB memory?

[Mark]

The micro-holographic disc, which is the same size as existing DVD discs, is aimed at the archive industry.

But the company believes it can eventually be used in the consumer market place and home players.

Blu-ray discs, which are used to store high definition movies and games, can currently hold between 25GB and 50GB.

Micro-holographic discs can store more data than DVDs or Blu-ray because they store information on the disc in three dimensions, rather than just pits on the surface of the disc

They say it's going to start at 10 cents a gig. Meaning it would run around $50 a disk! They also say it will drop in price quickly.

I don't think that the general population need this much storage on a single disc
