MAGNETO-OPTICAL DRIVES DEFINITION (continued): …  of data, an MO diskette can store many times that amount, ranging from 100 MB up to several gigabytes (GB).

An MO system achieves its high data density byusing a laser and a magnetic read/write head in combination. Boththe laser and the magnet are used to write data onto thediskette. The laser heats up the diskette surface so it can beeasily magnetized, and also to allow the region of magnetizationto be precisely located and confined. A less intense laser isused to read data from the diskette. Data can be erased and/oroverwritten an unlimited number of times, as with a conventional3.5-inch …
