If you’re looking to store vast amounts of information for long periods, magneto-optical cartridges are the way to go. Perfect for organizations that need to archive data long term or who absolutely can’t afford to lose information, these cartridges have a longer shelf life than digital options and can help to ensure that data isn’t corrupted.
There are quite a few benefits to magneto-optical cartridges outside of storing data without degradation. They help to lower paper storage costs, give your organization quick access to information over their computers, and provide a stable and rugged environment for your data.
That being said, they do not last forever, but they work very well as a stopgap measure to ensure that your data is secured, with some products having archival lifespans of up to 100 years. These drives tend to be write-only, ensuring that nothing can be erased... or altered, only viewed. These cartridges are excellent for storing financial, medical, governmental, and industrial data—or any other kinds of data that should be kept long term. In fact, they are crucial for any organization that needs to have archival stability.
When storing these devices, always remember to keep them separate from other sources of the same information to protect your organization from catastrophes such as major fires or other acts of nature.
Magneto-optical cartridges allow businesses to get fast data transfer rates with a low cost per gigabyte of storage. They also support write once, read many (WORM) storage, which meets government regulations for long-term storage and permanence. Capable of handling between 220GB and 2.2TB, these devices provide excellent storage, reliability, and data security.
