5.2 GB Capacity ISO Compliant
Drive
The first 5.2 GB 5.25-inch Magneto Optical drive on the market, the
SMO-F551/S provides up to 5.2 GB capacity in an ISO compliant drive design.
Backward compatibility is a key feature in protecting your investment in
existing data archives, and the 551 series meets this requirement. These
drives not only ready the latest 5.2 GB, 4.8 GB, and 4.1 GB media, but are
compatible with all previous generations of 5.25-inch MO media. The 551 can
read and write to 2.6/2.3 GB media, and read 1.3/1.2 GB and 650/600 MB
media.
Improved data throughput
Along with increased capacity, the 551 series drives also deliver higher
data transfer rates. With a sustained data transfer rate of up to 5 MB/s,
the 551 series is up to 20% faster than previous drive generations. A fast
25 ms access time, a large 4 MB data buffer, and a fast industry standard
SCSI-2 interface also help speed access to your critical data.
Compact size, low power
The SMO-F551/S MO drives fits a standard 5.25-inch half height enclosure,
simplifying installation into most desktop and server systems. In addition,
low power requirements, less than 15 W, reduces the demand on your system
power supply.

and MSBF of more than 750,000 cycles.
Bundled software and
accessories

right away. With supplied software drivers for Windowsr and MacOSr systems
and User manual, installation can be quick and easy. The industry standard
