Keep data safe and accessible with Bering’s OptiPac-3 MO disk drives.
Magneto-Optical Technology is rewritable, it’s convenient, it’s durable and
highly reliable, and it’s high capacity. MO has proven to be the best
removable storage technology for archiving data. The compact 3.5" MO media cartridges
can store up to 1.3GB of data and the low media price make it the best $/MB value for
keeping data safe. MO is resistant to environmental conditions and electromagnetic
interference. There is no danger of lost data from head crashes because nothing touches
the actual disks. Store, protect, secure, transport,
backup, and/or exchange graphic files, large databases, and
other important information.
New Optional Feature—The OptiPac-3 is now available with an option that
emulates the HP9144 tape drive. Use the OptiPac-3 to backup data as an image copy or
file-by-file using your HP computer’s 9144 and 9145 backup utilities. Model 8601LT
and 8601LX emulate the HP9144/HP9145 and the 8611LX emulates HP
7908/7911/7912/7914/7942A/7946A hard disk systems with tape cartridge.
The OptiPac-3 MO drives make the best choice for HP users needing a
removable, near-line and long archival storage solution. They can replace vintage HP7907,
HP7906, HP79xx, and HP9153 storage systems. The OptiPac-3 MO models are available as a
single or dual MO drive(s) and combination MO plus a hard disk. Use the hard disk as the
system disk and the MO drive for copying data. Bering supports them on HP 9000 and HP 1000
systems with HP-IB or MAC interfaces.
