Features and Specifications of SMO-F551 & RMO-S551

SMO-F551: Internal Drive, RMO-S551: Sony Branded External Drive

(1) Large Capacity 5.2GBytes Disk
Storage capacity is significantly increased by the latest technology. MO system is the perfect solution for professional use such as Medical Industry, Telecommunication, DTP, A/V editing and etc..

(2) High-speed Data transfer Rate
The use of high-speed spindle motor and high-performance RISC CPU enable a sustained transfer rate of up to 5.0 MBytes/sec(max.). This MO drive can handle animation such as MPEG-2 level picture.

(3) Large Capacity 4MBytes Cache Memory
Efficient recording, quick response and optimum operational environment are provided through use of 4MBytes buffer and Sony's original cache control algorithm(S-Cache*).
*S-Cache is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

(4) High Reliability
Sony MO drive can achieve MTBF of 300,000 POH(60% Reliability).* And the disk offers 50 years of archival life with 10 million record/playback cycles.*
*Estimation based on in-house test results. MTBF: Mean Time Between Failure

(5) Maintenance Free
In this MO drive,preventive measures are taken to guard against dust. It is unnecessary to clean the optical lens of your MO drive.

(6) Disk Compatibility
Sony 8X MO drive is compatible with ISO format 5.25 inch MO disk, therefore it allows access to old data which maybe on 1st or 2nd generation media. And the drive also accepts CCW(Continuous Composite Write-once) disks and 2.6GBytes Direct Over-Write disk for many purposes and applications.
