ABSTRACT:
A data storage system having a positioning system for a micro-electromechanical system (“MEMS”) based data storage provided. The data storage system includes a MEMS-based scanner that interacts with a polymer medium to read, write and erase data. A first positioning system is coupled to the MEMS scanner to allow the storage of data over a defined area. A second positioning system is coupled to the first positioning system and the MEMS scanner to allow the use of a larger polymer medium. A plurality of storage modules is also provided to allow scalability of data storage.
