The SDLT system (
Figure 2-1
and
Figure 2-2
) is based on Laser Guided
Magnetic Recording•••• (LGMR) technology. LGMR provides a unique
combination of the best optical and magnetic technologies, which results in
dramatically higher capacities by substantially increasing the number of recording
tracks on the data-bearing surface of the media. By recording data magnetically
on
the data-bearing side of the media and servoing optically on the backside, LGMR
optimizes highly proven technologies to deliver the most efficient, reliable and
scalable data backup solution to the mid-range market.
