Having been the leader in 5.25-inch MO technology for over ten years, Sony proudly presents the latest in its MO drive line-up, with the highest performance and more reliability than ever.At 5.2 GBytes, the SMO-F551 is ideal for data intensive applications such as document imaging, CAD/CAM, graphic design and database processing. The drive offers total reliability with an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 100, 000 Power on Hours and an MSBF (Mean Swaps Before Failure) of over 750, 000. It will perform well in the most demanding of information technology environments, whether standalone desktop or high-end network.A generous 4MB buffer memory is controlled by Sony's unique S-Cache algorithm. S-Cache includes sophisticated and proprietary data buffer/caching algorithms and features a high performance RISC CPU. Thus, the S-Cache is the perfect compliment to the high data transfer rates brought about by the drive's fast rotational speed.

Sony offers 14x 5.25-inch magneto optical disk drives and media. Designed to meet the ever expanding storage needs of powerful multimedia systems and networks, the RMO-S561 external MO drive offers a colossal 9.1 GByte of digital data capacity while also ensuring backward compatibility and lightning fast access and transfer speeds. The latest 14x MO products take advantage of two advanced data storage technologies to increase capacity. With 'magnetically induced super resolution' (MSR), heat distribution and magnetism within the laser beam enable MO drives to read data that is smaller than the beam spot size, enhancing storage density. 'Land-and-groove recording' uses a new 'dual spiral' zone layout to allow data recording on both the surface of the layer (the land) and the spiral track (the groove), again increasing media density. It is the combination of these technologies that allows fifth-generation MO to store up to 9.1 GByte of data on just one 5.25-inch disk. The new MO drives are also extremely quick, with a data transfer rate of 6 MByte / s and an average seek time of 25 ms, i.e. near hard drive performance.
