ABSTRACT:
A multi-byte, random access, mass storage/memory system is capable of storing multigigabytes of information and communicating that information over various standard output channels at high transfer rates. The system includes drive, software and media components configured to operate with no moving parts or substantially no moving parts. The system stores/retrieves data from a non-rotational media using an optical head that concurrently sweeps multiple parallel data tracks. The non-rotational media is a high density, rewritable/erasable structure capable of storing large amounts of digital information. The media has an open form factor based upon single cell zones which can accommodate various storage requirements. Also, the mass storage system has an internal bus structure that allows the system to act in isolation or multiple systems to act independently, but in concert for mass storage for one or more hosts.
