RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF 3M MAGNETO-OPTIC MEDIA

抄録

  A comprehensive approach to Magneto-Optic (M-O) stability was undertaken in order to address the reliability concerns from a broad spectrum of user applications and expectations. By measuring the changes in performance characteristics, starting at manufacturing and ending with data archiving, the reliability of this form of data storage was evaluated. Stresses designed to simulate packaging, shipping, warehousing, and storage were included. Following this, the interchangability among drives and read/write temperatures was tested as well as the erase/write/read cyclability. Finally a temperature and relative humidity Eyring model was validated for previous experimentation and an enhanced model for archival life was introduced.
