molding technology. It also offers at least one million erase/record cycles and a reading life estimated at more than 50 years, making it suitable for long-term data preservation.The use of Sony's own cartridge design and mechanical parts gives the 14X MO disk as many as 100,000 load/unload cycles per side. Also, Sony's original antistatic hard coat treatment cuts down on static electricity and protects the disk surface from scratches and dust.The special features of the 5.25-inch MO disk, namely its high-speed random access and massive storage capacity, make it suitable for a wide variety of applications. In addition to its use as an external storage device on PCs and workstations, it may also be used for LAN and Web servers, computer graphics, CAD/CAM, storage of X-ray and ultra-sound wave images, etc., non-linear audio/video editing, and document archiving by government offices and libraries. It may also be used for large-scale libraries and jukeboxes that require high-speed disk changes.  (less)

further assured by Sony's high-precision stamper and substrate molding technology.With data integrity maintained over at least one million erase/write cycles and a data-read life estimated at more than 50 years, Sony 5.25 MO media is highly suited to long-term data archiving.Sony uses its own rugged cartridge design and mechanical components to achieve durability of at least 100, 000 load/unload cycles per side. Sony's original antistatic hard coat treatment reduces static buildup and protects the disk surface from scratches and dust.With MSR (Magnetically-induced Super-Resolution) technology, the recorded magnetic domain at the center of the laser spot is selectively heated to transfer its data individually to a special readout layer. This makes it possible to distinguish magnetic data that is much smaller than laser beam spot size.Besides writing data in the grooves like a conventional disk, this format uses the "lands" between the grooves as well. Land & groove recording creates two spiral data tracks to dramatically raise data density and disk capacity.With its high-speed random access and massive storage capacity, the 5.25 MO lends itself to a wide variety of applications. MO drives can be easily connected to PCs and workstations including LAN and Web servers to handle computer graphics, CAD/CAM, X-ray and ultra-sound medical images, non-linear audio/video editing, and government agency or library document archiving. Other popular applications include large-scale libraries and jukeboxes that depend on high-speed disk changes.  (less)

Metal Evaporated) Tape- Now Sony delivers 100% pure cobalt for high retentivity. Patented process for depositing a pure metal magnetic layer directly on the basefilm without adhesive or binders. The benefit from this AME technology is maximum recording performance. MIC (Memory in Cassette)- The AIT cartridges feature a built-in flash memory chip that stores directory and operational information. The result is rapid access to desired data and greatly reduced loading and ejection times. DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) Coating- The tape surface is protected by a smooth carbon coating that is nearly as hard as diamond and 20 times harder than metal oxides. The benefit is maximum reliability and life.  (less)

uses a short 405nm blue-violet laser. Furthermore, the lens NA (numerical aperture) is raised to NA 0.85 for considerably higher convergence. This combination of blue-violet laser and NA 0.85 lens creates a beam spot only one fifth the area of a DVD beam spot, so much more data can be packed into a smaller space. A narrow track pitch lets more data be recorded within the same disc area. Sony's advanced stamper technology creates a track pitch of only 0.32?m.The result is outstanding read/write stability with a tilt margin on a par with the DVD format, while using a beam spot only one-fifth as large. It is constructed to not only seal out dust but also prevent damage of all kinds. The cartridge is made of tough, heat-resistant polycarbonate with anti-static polymer for the lower shell and rotary shutter to enhance dust resistance.Sony test results show an estimated lifespan of 50 years or more for data stored on the Professional Disc for DATA at room temperature.  (less)
