Sony EDM5200 Robust construction for auto-changer use, Widely adopted for demanding applications

5.25-INCH MAGNETO OPTICAL DISK

Robust construction for auto-changer use

Sony uses its own rugged cartridge design and mechanical components to achieve durability of at least 100,000 load/unload cycles per side. Sony’s original antistatic hard coat treatment reduces static buildup and protects the disk surface from scratches and dust.

Magnetic data resolution finer than laser spot size

With MSR (Magnetically-induced Super-Resolution) technology, the recorded magnetic domain at the center of the laser spot is selectively heated to transfer its data individually to a special readout layer. This makes it possible to distinguish magnetic data that is much smaller than laser beam spot size.

5.25 MO Disk

Land & Groove Recording raises data density

Besides writing data in the grooves like a conventional disk, this format uses the “lands” between the grooves as well. Land & Groove Recording creates two spiral data tracks to dramatically raise data density and disk capacity.

Widely adopted for demanding applications

With its high-speed random access and massive storage capacity, the 5.25 MO lends itself to a wide variety of applications. MO drives can be easily connected to PCs and workstations including LAN and Web servers to handle computer graphics, CAD/CAM, X-ray and ultra-sound medical images, non-linear audio/video editing, and government agency or library document archiving. Other popular applications include large-scale libraries and jukeboxes that depend on high-speed disk changes.
