Holographic Tape Inches Closer To Mass Market Ahead Of Silica, Ceramic Media - 200TB Worm Tech Set To Debut In 2027 After Successful Dry Run In An LTO Tape Library

A UK startup has tested a holographic tape storage system inside a working LTO tape library, showing that it can run within existing data center setups.
The test by HoloMem involved real software writing data to the system and reading it back through normal tape library operations.
Both traditional LTO drives and holographic drives ran side by side in the same library, which is important because many storage ideas fail outside controlled test environments.
