515 gigabits = 64.37500 gigabytes I guess its still pretty good 😛 By the way, since its holographic storage, wouldn’t depth be a big factor? I’ve heard of this stuff before, I’m surprised its not measured by cubic inch or something :P. ---

Phlashman’s right. It’s awesome, but not to be like, “holy crap, there’s no way” about… if you know what I mean. 😛 It has a neat name, though. 😉 ---

■■■■. 🙂 That’s nice. … But I don’t think it’s a portable medium disk, is it? ☹ ---

All of them were on a FibreChannel RAID3 array, but the Parity kid only ever got Chinese whispers, so we had a bit of trouble rebuilding dead kids. :sigh:
