Are Holographic and HD-DVD Drives Available Now?

  • Start date
In summary, holographic and HD-DVD drives are currently available in the market. These drives offer high-definition and more storage capacity than traditional optical drives. However, they have not gained widespread adoption due to the dominance of streaming services and the rise of solid-state drives. While they may have niche uses, they are not yet a mainstream option for consumers.

HD-DVD players would probably be around this year, same time as blu-ray. You won't benefit from the image quality if you don't have a high definition tv. When you said hd-dvd drives I'm assuming the one for the PC, that I don't know.
