Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for converting between serial data and encoded holographic data. The apparatus for converting between serial data and encoded holographic data is provided with a logic unit containing a plurality of modules configured to functionally execute the necessary steps of reading data signals from and writing data signals to a data bus on a computing device, converting between a serial data stream and an encoded data image, and reading data from and writing data to a holographic storage medium. From the foregoing discussion, it should be apparent that a need exists for an apparatus, system, and method for converting between serial data and encoded holographic data. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would encode backup information directly with the data as it is written to the storage medium.
