ABSTRACT
Recordable optical disk drive technology provides a well-matched solution to the increasing demands for removable storage. An optical disk drive provides, in a sense, infinite storage capabilities: Extra storage space is easily acquired by using additional media cartridges (which are relatively inexpensive). Such cost effective storage capabilities are welcome in storage-intensive modern computer applications such as desktop publishing, computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), or multimedia authoring.
