Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology that can store up to several terabytes of data using holographic three-dimensional data storage. HVD uses a collinear holography technique to record pages of data holographically inside a photopolymer recording layer, allowing much higher density data storage than existing optical disc technologies like DVD and Blu-ray. HVD discs have a potential storage capacity of 3.9 terabytes on a disc 10-12 cm in diameter, compared to 25 gigabytes for Blu-ray, as well as faster data transfer rates and a significantly longer archival life expectancy than magnetic or conventional optical storage.
