A storage system that contains multiple optical drives that read and write the media simultaneously. Libraries may hold one disc per drive or have storage for any number of discs or cartridges ...

Using 3D storage techniques, scientists at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology developed an optical disk capable of accommodating 1.6 petabits of data (that's 1.6 million gigabits).

Optical disks and magnetic tapes are suitable media for the long-term storage of large amounts of data. We are developing thin optical disks using paper-thin 0.1-mm-thick substrate as a means of ...

Starting while at a Silicon Valley startup, Siros Technologies, we explored an alternative approach extnending current optical disk technologies. Here, a spinning disk is written and read by a focused ...

As prices of writeable media and drives dropped, consumers rushed to duplicate games, create their own mix CDs, and backup their data on optical disc. It was a halcyon time. Fast forward to today ...
