This year Maxell is coming out with a holographic disk otherwise known as "Holographic Versatile Disc". Maxell claims that these HDV's can hold up to 300 gb of memory.Drive's transfer rate will be 20 MB/sec, which will mean burning a disc will take as little as 4 hours, but if we think of lead-in and all other sort of stuff, we could well be looking at 5 long hours. They say that technology is capable of 1.6 TB at transfer rate of 120 MB/sec. Its supposedly going to be at an affordable price for consumers.
The second picture is what an HDV is supposed to look like, its a new technology.
