MO has proven to be the best removable storage technology for archiving data. MO media cartridges are resistant to environmental conditions and electromagnetic interference. The OptiPac series of MO drives are the right choice for HP users needing a removable, near-line and long archival storage solution. They are the workhorse for your HP system to store, protect, secure, transport, backup, and/or exchange graphic files, large databases, and other important information. The OptiPac MO models are available as a single MO drive and combination MO plus a hard disk. Use the hard disk as the system disk and the MO drive for copying data. The front panel LCD controls make it easy to backup files "disk-to-MO" offline.

Bering supports the OptiPac MO solutions on HP 9000 and HP 1000 systems with HP-IB or MAC interfaces.
