SMO-F551 Magneto Optical Drive |
Magneto-optical drives are storage devices that use a combination of magnetic and optical technologies to read and write data to magneto-optical disks. These drives were popular in the 1990s for their high-capacity storage and data reliability. Magneto-optical disks use a magneto-optical layer to store data magnetically, which can then be read and written using a laser beam. These drives were commonly used for data backup, archival, and document storage in industries such as healthcare, finance, and government where data integrity and longevity are critical.
