A holographic storage assembly is provided which utilizes a large holographic storage media (36) disposed between two reflecting surfaces (40) and (42). An optics system (44) is disposed between the two reflecting surfaces (40) and (42) is operable to generate both a reference beam (58) and a data beam (50). The data beam (50) and reference beam (58) are generated on a virtual spot plane (100), which is then imaged from the surface of the reflecting surface (42) onto the much larger surface of the media (36). This is operable to record an interference grating at a storage location (56). During a playback operation, a reconstructed data beam (64) is generated and reflected from the surface of the mirror (40) onto a detector (68) in the deflector system (44).
