Using Optical Disks NOTE Using Optical Disks Choosing an Optical Disk Type Choosing an Optical Disk Type Two disk types are available for use in the jukebox: rewritable disks and write-once disks. To choose which type of disks to use, consider these points: • Rewritable optical disks--data can be repeatedly written and erased. • Write-Once optical disks--data can be written only once, and the data cannot be altered or erased. If you have a need for data security and audit trails, write-once disks may be a good disk choice. • Rewritable and write-once disks come in sector sizes from 4,096 bytes/sector down to 512 bytes/sector (see Table A-1 in Appendix A). The sector size you choose depends upon what type of operating system you have in your host computer and which software package you use to manage files stored on the jukebox. Do not use write-once disks in a computer system that does not support write-once disks. Check that your jukebox application software supports write-once disks. Chapter 2 2- 3

Using Optical Disks
Choosing an Optical Disk Type
Two disk types are available for use in the jukebox: rewritable disks and
write-once disks.
To choose which type of disks to use, consider these points:
•
Rewritable optical disks--data can be repeatedly written and erased.
•
Write-Once optical disks--data can be written only once, and the data
cannot be altered or erased. If you have a need for data security and
audit trails, write-once disks may be a good disk choice.
•
Rewritable and write-once disks come in sector sizes from 4,096
bytes/sector down to 512 bytes/sector (see Table A-1 in Appendix A).
The sector size you choose depends upon what type of operating
system you have in your host computer and which software package
you use to manage files stored on the jukebox.
NOTE
Do not use write-once disks in a computer system that does not support
write-once disks. Check that your jukebox application software supports
write-once disks.
