Sweet, it's good to see that they finally putting products out with this stuff.
It'll prob be few more years before harddisk etc start using it at all and when it does come it prob be really expensive until the bugs drop. It didnt say anything about speed there but I've heard of a few of the other "tests" companys were doing and they were getting faster speeds than ram from harddisk type setups

Hologram memories have been near production for most of the last two decades if not longer. Unfortunately DVD's have caught up.
