UDO Drives

Professional Archival Storage

UDO drives are designed specifically to meet the demands of professional archival storage environments. High duty cycles ensure their suitability for continuous, long-term use with certified ratings in excess of 750,000 load/unload cycles (MSBF) and 100,000 hours of operation (MTBF).

The seek and read/write performance of UDO drives have been optimized for archive requirements. A 35 millisecond seek time delivers very fast random access to data. Maximum sustained read and write speeds are 8MB/sec and 4MB/sec (with full verification) respectively and with media load times of a few seconds, access to data stored in an automated UDO library can be achieved in a few seconds.

UDO drives support read and write operations on all 30GB Rewritable and Write Once UDO media, and use an industry standard half-height form factor, which offers simple integration into automated libraries, computer systems or as a stand-alone Desktop Drive.

UDO Desktop Drives bring professional archival storage to small office and departmental environments at an affordable price. Healthcare facilities, accounting and legal departments, engineering and design offices, publishing houses and many other businesses benefit from the high capacity, performance and reliability of UDO Desktop Drives for the long-term storage of their valuable information.

Engineered for demanding archive environments, UDO Drives are certified with very high duty cycles that ensure reliable operation in combination with fast seek times and high read/write speeds optimized for the unique performance requirements of a data archive.

The UDO Desktop drive supports Write Once UDO media for unmatched data authenticity and compliance with industry regulations and UDO Rewritable media for more general archive requirements that demand data longevity while allowing older records to be erased and media space reused.

The UDO Desktop Drive package includes a UDO drive in a compact, attractive enclosure, external power supply, interface / power cables, one piece of 30GB UDO Rewritable media and software drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems.

As archive capacity grows, Plasmon G-Series libraries Powered by UDO provide a non-disruptive upgrade path to improve archive access and automate media management.

UDO Internal Drives consist of a conventional UDO drive, but without an external enclosure or power supply. Using an industry standard half-height form factor, the UDO Internal Drive is designed for easy installation into computer servers and specialized peripheral devices such as medical imaging equipment, digital recording devices, and document scanners.

The UDO Internal Drive provides an ideal solution for fully integrated applications and hardware solutions that require secure data archiving with the benefits of a robust removable media. UDO Internal Drives are delivered with or without software drivers for Windows and Linux, and are available to Plasmon's OEM customers. Please contact us for more information.
