2 NEXT PREVIOUS JUMP CONTENTS INDEX 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. • Both rewritable and write-once disks come in three sector sizes: 2,048 bytes/sector, 1,024 bytes/sector, and 512 bytes/sector. 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. 2

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.
Both rewritable and write-once disks come in three sector sizes: 2,048 bytes/sector, 1,024 bytes/sector, and 512
bytes/sector. The sector size you choose depends upon what type of operating system you have in your host com-
puter 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
