General

HP C7983A magneto-optical rewritable disks allow virtually unlimited read/write cycles, making them the ideal choice for data management in information-intensive environments. HP 7983A rewritable magneto optical disk offers 9.1 GB data storage capacity. HP C7983A writes-once disks are designed for permanent storage of data that can't be altered or erased. Both disk formats have an archival life of 100 years and are engineered to HP exacting quality standards. As with other HP storage media, HP standards for magneto-optical media exceed industry standards. HP C7983A magneto optical disk has 4096 bytes per sector. Qualification includes extensive reliability testing in auto-changer and in an interchange environment. This work ensures that HP magneto-optical disks exceed industry standards on a wide range of measures, including standards for error rates, archival life cycle, erase and read cycle life, cartridge conductivity of static, and non-operating shock.
