Holographic WORM Drive

Are you kidding? If that were for real, Enterprise would jizz in its pants. It would change the world.

>How do you overwrite shit?
You don't.
Write Once Read Many (WORM)

Once written, this data would be an online (accessible) history/archive that is faster than spinning disks. It would be an epic game changer.

Kickstarter requires a working initial product now.

Perfectly summarizes this.

I have better idea op.

What we need to do is record metal songs on water. Better quality than vinyl and it lasts forever.

So what. Built a meme box out of scrap metal and some old Glas that has a meme or something stored in it and then post that.

Make three hundred million easy. Take the money then sell the design to Google and fuck your backers then buy an island and ignore the AI wars that are coming.

Seriously, is this likely to happen? People need to start rethinking information technology and start planning for a very different world. Imagine a hundred of these or a thousand of these sitting in a library chassis and can be powered up and accessed on demand. Is the OP here? What are your sources?

This would've had to been developed in some secret military bunker to have prevented the hard drive industry people from killing you.

If your product does not work, your kickstarter gets cancelled. You do not get the money.
Seriously are you actually retarded?

Is it rewriteable?

It's writable but unreadable

Write Once
Read Many

There are some caveats worth mentioning: the entire 4TB must be written at once; preparing the data to be written is computationally expensive (most); calculating "addresses" of data to be read is computationally expensive (somewhat); deciphering the read data pages is computationally expensive (least). None of this is done in the device.

Also, much larger subsets of the data must be read in order to decode the parts that are needed.

Are there working prototypes? How close are you to large-scale manufacturing? Are there any significant technical hurdles to overcome?

How large?

The error detection and correction coding, data encryption, and data compression are all deeply integrated into the holographic memory architecture. This is a significant aspect of the technology. In the 4TB configuration, which seems the most reasonable for the current technical environment, data is read from the device in 8GB blocks. However, a particular end-user data item might not be entirely encoded in a single 8GB block. So multiple blocks might need to be read and then decoded to retrieve a particular data item.

There is no physical prototype, only simulation models. Much development in large-scale nanotechnology manufacturing techniques needs to take place before it's financially reasonable to create any of these devices. Small-scale production isn't reasonable.

Distributed researchers working somewhat independently and collaborating beneath the radar is indeed necessary to avoid the crazies. Welcome to the new USA. ;)

>beneath the radar
Not all radars are equal. ;)

OP is posting here for a reason. What that reason is, I have no idea...

What is the wacelength of light lmao do you know how big this would need to be for it to be practical? There is a reason OP used the word micro

It's gotta be acoustic guitar and a xylophone youtube.com/watch?v=wrBh174GLHA
here's an example, it's pretty bad, don't blame me

Because Ars Technica and Slashdot called out his bullshit?
Jow Forums is totally uncritical of submissions up to the point of publishing. Others have reputations to protect.

Ahhh. Stortech. They've been around for a long time.
I remember when they used VCR cartridges as medium. A very cheap data silo.
