Abstract

The Optimem Division of Shugart Corporation has developed the Optimem 1000 optical disk drive to address the low end market for cost effective write-once optical storage systems. The Optimem 1000 is a 1 GByte per surface drive which is meant to compliment magnetic disk storage. Typical office type applications for this drive are electronic file cabinet storage, and CAD/CAM and medical image storage. In the document storage applications, the optical drive can be used as the central file server along with magnetic disk drives for work in progress.
