A DVD-sized glass platter can hold ~7 TB. Recent advances show the technology now works with ordinary borosilicate glass (like Pyrex), writing is more efficient, and reading requires only one camera instead of three. The project explores birefringent voxel writing and phase voxels as key techniques. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
