has distinct advantages over the Bernoulli and
Syquest™ technology. Since optical drives use laser technology to store
information there is no chance of head crashes. 3.5” optical has a much
smaller footprint than 5.25” magnetic but holds 40% more data.

PREIS of optical media is 15 years (shelf life) - that’s 3 times
longer than Bernoulli and Syquest™ magnetic disks. Since the 3.5”
cartridges are removable, optical remains the most secure way of storing
your data into the future.

for 3.5” optical disks have both SO and ANSI
standards to support the technology, while Bernoulli and Syquest™
have none. Each 3.5” disk can be recognized in any 3.5” ISO/ANSI
standard optical drive.

Eee resco is clear. Pinnacle Micro dominates the optical
storage industry by offering the largest selection of 3.5" and 5.25”
optical drives and disk changers. Interface kits are available for MAC,

SUN, DEC, IBM and compatibles. The Pinnacle. Your next storage system.
