Abstract

Optical disk systems are expected to meet the demands of large memory capacity because their recording density is about ten times higher than that of magnetic disks or tapes. A mass storage library system already implemented for a jukebox system. It used write-once optical disks and had a long access time. Recent advances in optical disk technology have increased the demand for erasable disks. Faster access times for mass storage systems are needed.
