The Sony ODA system is perfect for deep archive applications, meeting long-term archive requirements such as broadcast archives. It offers a secure, write-once, long-term archive solution that traditional data tapes can't match. It's also an excellent choice for business continuity/disaster recovery, post-production backups, and archiving video, film, and stock footage.

The 1.5TB optical disc cartridge is resilient to temperature extremes, humidity, dust, and water, ensuring reliable and robust storage with an impressive archive life of over 50 years. It eliminates the need for second-generation media migration by maintaining backwards read compatibility with future optical disc drives.

The cartridge's UDF compatibility and file format independence allow for increased flexibility in data archiving. It significantly reduces total cost of ownership over its extended archive life due to minimal environmental storage demands.

With the Cartridge Memory (CM) feature, basic metadata can be stored to simplify data file location. The IT file data structure enables direct and random access to data files, offering faster search capabilities and significant speed benefits over LTO tape. This makes the Sony 1.5TB Write-Once Cartridge an ideal solution for both near-line archive for production systems and deep archive for long-term storage.
