The technology is what is known as five-dimensional (5)D optical storage and it is one the University of Southampton team has been pursuing for a while. It was first demonstrated back in 2013, with ...

SPhotonix is working towards commercializing its 5D optical "memory crystal" technology that uses lasers to write nanoscale data into durable fused‑silica glass. One 5‑inch disc can hold 360TB. The ...

Optica, formerly OSA, reports that researchers have developed "5D" data storage technology that might allow 500 terabytes of data to be stored on a CD-sized glass disc. The technique was developed ...

Scientists have made a major step forward in the development of digital data storage that is capable of surviving for billions of years. Using nanostructured glass, scientists have developed the ...

Blu-rays are so done. Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created new data storage tech that could write and keep 500TB of data on a CD-sized glass disc. The 5D storage tech has higher writing ...

Drobo is announcing the start of pre-orders for its Mini and 5D storage arrays. The products are the company’s first with Thunderbolt. Drobo is announcing the start of pre-orders for its Mini and 5D ...

Hard drives and flash storage have gotten more reliable over the years, but only on a human timescale. What if we need data storage that lasts longer? Decades? Millennia? The key to that might be 5D ...

The Drobo 5D is a rather unique storage solution, and for the longest time, I myself wanted to get my hands on one. The 5D is a five-bay direct attached storage appliance or DAS for short, which ...

Data Robotics (now Drobo) was the first company to make expandable RAID storage easy, and with the current Drobo line of BeyondRAID devices they've now made the devices faster through the use of ...
