Overview

HP Magneto-Optical Storage Media
 
 
 

Introduction

Magneto Optical (MO) is a highly niche market that is ideal for companies or industries who must meet federal archival regulations, who process large volumes of document management, who must access stored/archived files quickly. Markets likely to utilize MO are: medical, legal, imaging, printing, document management, government and education. HP Write-once and rewritable disks surpass ISO, IEC and ANSI standards. HP quality control tests include 40,000 load/unload cycles per disk, which minimize the risk of broken shutter and unrecoverable read problems, thus ensuring total file access.

Product Highlights

Proven Reliability HP ensures the highest level of quality with media specifications that far exceed industry standards. HP has 20 custom-built testing chambers that are in use 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. No other media supplier carries out such exhaustive qualification of the drive and media as HP. This is because no media supplier conducts extensive drive based tests on a daily basis and moreover, supports hardware warranty initiatives in the field with a vested interest in reducing all media-induced hardware issues. In 2002, 170,000 different media tests were performed, accounting for 1.3 million test hours. HP also conducts tests on multiple batches of media using multiple drives to ensure performance in different environmental conditions, such as variations of high/low temperature and humidity. Changes in external conditions, which can easily occur when media is moved from different locations, can have a huge impact on error rate performance. Increased error rates jeopardizes backup, and backup disruption jeopardizes business continuity. HP customers are many and varied; this is why HP specifies stringent durability and reliability metrics that the media must satisfy before it is good enough to bear the HP logo.

Magneto-Optical Technology Magneto-optical technology, commonly referred to as MO, is a revolutionary approach to data storage that combines the advantages of both magnetic and laser technologies to capture and store data. The secret to magneto-optical is that during the recording process, an intense laser beam is focused on a disk containing an alloy material that retains a magnetic field when heated above a critical temperature. Write-one and rewritable disks surpass ISO, IEC and ANSI standards. HP's quality control tests include 40,000 load/unload cycles per disk, minimizing the risk of broken shutter and unrecoverable read problems. Anti-static shell design prevents corruption and lost data.
