Plasmon's 1800 Series is a family of 12-inch optical disk libraries designed to store large datasets in the most demanding of applications. The modular design includes two models: 1802 and 1803. Each model sets the standard for dependable, high-capacity, and unalterable TrueWORM™ (Write Once Read Many) technology. Using Plasmon 6000 or 8000 optical drives and media. The 1800 Series libraries can store from 832 GB to 4.2 TB of data in a permanent archive with a minimum data life of 100 years.

Complete field upgradability between models gives you the flexibility you need to keep up with changing storage requirements. This scalability protects the hardware investment while the stable glass media protects the data investment.

• Performance is optimized for fast access times using high-speed robotics with dual cartridge transport mechanisms, and full servo-motion control with overlapping motions. The typical time to exchange cartridges is less than 8 seconds
• Plasmon dual-headed optical drives can access both sides of the media simultaneously, avoiding the removal and flipping of media required with other optical drives, resulting in reduced wear and faster response times
• Manufacturer's Certification. Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is 30 minutes
• Mean Swaps Between Failure (MSBF) is 600,000
