  2. Magneto-optical drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive

    A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. 130 mm (5.25 in) and 90 mm (3.5 in) discs are the most common sizes. In 1983, just a year after the introduction of the compact disc , Kees Schouhamer Immink and Joseph Braat presented the first experiments with erasable ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD_Data

    MD Data is a type of magneto-optical medium derived from MiniDisc. [ 1 ] In developing and marketing it, Sony was trying to set the new standard for removable media to replace the 3½-inch diskette it had also helped create.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDisc

    MiniDisc (MD) is an erasable magneto-optical disc-based data storage format offering a capacity of 60, 74, and later, 80 minutes of digitized audio. Sony announced the MiniDisc in September 1992 and released it in November [ 2 ] of that year for sale in Japan and in December in Europe, North America, and other countries. [ 3 ]

    UDO optical disc storage media was developed as a replacement for the 9.1 GB Magneto-optical digital storage medium. The Ultra Density Optical was first announced by Sony on November 1, 2000. [ 2 ] It was later adopted with heavy investment by Plasmon, a UK technology company with extensive experience with computer archival backup systems and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc_drive

    In Sony's system (used on their proprietary Optical Disc Archive system which is based on Archival Disc, itself based on Blu-ray) the drive has 4 optical pickups, two on each side of the disc, with each pickup having two lenses for a total of 8 lenses and laser beams. This allows for both sides of the disc to be read and written to at the same ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc

    However, not all optical drives provide this capability, and support for this feature can vary significantly between manufacturers and drive models. On drives lacking raw data access, users may rely on a less precise method: monitoring unexpected reductions in read speed, though this is a far less reliable indicator of disc health.

  8. Optical storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_storage

    In 1983, Philips introduced their early work on magneto-optical drive technology at an industry conference. This used a laser to warm the storage media so that it became susceptible to magnetic fields and an electromagnet, similar to the one in a hard drive, to write data by realigning the material within. It worked like a conventional optical ...
