HP Media - Q2031A 30GB Rewritable, Ultra Density Optical (UDO) disk

What is UDO?

UDO stands for "Ultra Density Optical" and is the new standard for professional optical storage. Based on ultra density, blue laser technology, it is the recognized successor to 5.25 inch MO (Magneto Optical) storage and is available in both Rewritable and true Write Once media formats. UDO has been designed specifically to provide secure long-term archival storage for valuable business information.

UDO is available in both true Write Once and Rewritable media formats. UDO Rewritable media provides a rewrite specification in excess of 10,000 cycles while the recording surface of true Write Once UDO media only permits data to be written a single time. This provides a unique level of data integrity and virtually unlimited data life. The use of Write Once (i.e. WORM) media is often called for by industry and governmental regulations to address long-term data storage because it provides a secure, unalterable format that facilitates clear data audit trails and the establishment of record authenticity.

The UDO has a well defined multiple generation roadmap, starting at 30GB in 2003, extending to 60GB in the second generation and growing to 120GB in the third generation. Each new product will be released at approximately 24-36 months intervals. Future generations drives will bring performance improvements and will provide backward-compatibility with earlier generation UDO drives and media.
