ABSTRACT:
A removable media data storage system with a memory for storing operational data regarding a removable media. In some examples, the operational data stored includes utilization data and/or system data. In some embodiments, the operational data is stored in a non-volatile IC based memory such as e.g. MRAM. In some examples, the memory can store multiple sets of operational data with one set for each removable media that has been inserted into the data storage system. The data system may include a processor operably coupled to the memory, wherein the memory and processor are located on a circuit board in the data system housing.
