Holographic storage is a promising storage technology that has been demonstrated in NAB 2008 and is finally commercialised by InPhase this May. By storing data in effectively three dimensions of the storage media -conventional optical discs store data in planes- it achieves very high capacities, in line with ever larger hard discs and the exploding use of video.
The InPhase 300r is a brick shaped drive that takes cartridge protected 12cm diameter discs -same diameter as CDs or DVDs. Capacity will initially be 300GB, read/write data rates will reach 20MB/sec and disc life is projected to 50 years. (continued)

Maybe you do not mind RFID passport controls, after all if security wants to know something they will definitely ask. But I am sure you do mind if you are in constant danger of having your RFID data stolen by anyone that has the not-so-difficult-to-get know-how. So what do you do? But of course kill the RFID chip without leaving a trace of your deeds!
