The benefits of magneto-optical disk drives

Magneto-optical (MO) is a removable storage technology with an ideal balance of performance, capacity, rewritability, reliability and ease of use.

Truly rewritable

As a rewritable removable storage medium, MO disk technology has a rewrite cycle of more than one million times. Compare this with other optical technology offering a rewrite cycle of around 1,000 times. This means MO technology is a very durable storage solution with virtually unlimited capability for reading and writing data on the same disk.

Fast

Fujitsu MO drives provide high performance and high capacity. With fast internal data transfer rates of up to 6.67MB per second, these products meet the requirements of today's demanding applications, including multimedia and desktop publishing.

Reliable

When precious data is stored on a removable disk, it is natural to be concerned about how it withstands the surrounding environment. Water, coffee, dust, magnetic fields, UV light and X-rays can all threaten to destroy your data. Fujitsu's DynaMO range features rugged MO disks that are nearly indestructible and virtually immune to such elements. You can feel confident about storing your data on an MO disk.

Easy

A removable drive's ease of operation is also an important issue; DynaMO models offer easy and friendly installation. For daily usage, MO drives do not need special knowlege - just insert a disk into a drive and use it like a floppy.

Quick formatting

Formatting blank media is sometimes a time-consuming job. However, MO technology allows a 1.3GB disk to be formatted in just seconds.

Excellent random access

The latest Fujitsu MO drives provide a remarkably quick access time of 23ms; CD-RW technology generally offers around 100ms. This makes MO technology ideal not only for long-time archiving, but also for day-to-day direct access storage.

Very quiet

MO drives are extremely quiet while operating, so they won't distract users as they concentrate on their work.
