At one of the peripheral device of the computer, the device which reads and writes the data in the MO disk. It is divided into several types by the size and corresponding capacity of the media.
Size of the media is things such as 3.5 inches and 5 inches same as the floppy disk, capacity is the type of 128MB, 230MB, 540MB, 640MB and 1.3GB etc. As for the drive which corresponds to big capacity, also reading and writing of the media whose capacity is smaller can do.
With 3.5 inch MO drive which is used widely, being maximum, it can handle the disk which has the capacity of 1.3GB. It depends on also the capacity of the disk, but as for data rate 5MB/s the upper limit.
MO drive of former times, the occasion where the data is superscribed, had needed 3 steps of elimination entry collation, but recent drive does elimination and entry simultaneously, we correspond to “direct overwrite” entry speed has improved substantially.
