Dust is the principal enemy of optical discs. That is why the BW-F101 internal drive has been designed to be completely airtight; dust is prevented from entering the case via either the mounting screw holes or the space between the top and bottom covers. The main entry point for dust is the shutter, but a dual-shutter mechanism has been adopted to ensure an airtight enclosure even with the media inside the drive. In addition, this drive is maintenance-free: an internal brush mechanism ensures periodic, automatic cleaning of the pickup lens to achieve the highest level of reliability. Professional Disc for DATA drives support both CAV (constant angular velocity) and CLV (constant linear velocity) transfer modes when reading and writing data. In CAV mode the disc rotates at a constant speed, meaning that the transfer rate slows as the pickup approaches the center of the disc, but seek operations are fast (110ms average). In CLV mode the speed of the pickup is constant, so although seek operations take longer, the maximum transfer rate of 11MB/s is maintained at all times. The drive firmware automatically selects the Optimum mode to ensure the best overall performance. When there is no disc access for a certain length of time, the drive starts shutting down components and circuits to save power. This follows a phased schedule that parks the optical pickup (OP), engages idle mode, cuts spindle power and eventually switches off the cooling fan. Power consumption is cut by approximately 50%, but there is more to it than that: in fan-off mode the drive produces less heat and attracts less dust since there are no moving parts. The duration of each phase in the sleep sequence can be adjusted using mode select commands to tailor performance for different applications.| Product Description | Sony BW-F101 - Professional Disc for DATA drive - SCSI | | Device Type | Professional Disc for DATA drive | | Enclosure Type | Internal | | Interface | SCSI | | Dimensions (WxDxH) | 14.6 cm x 20.3 cm x 4.1 cm | | Weight | 1.2 kg | | Storage Removable | Professional Disc for DATA (rewritable) - 5.25" x 1/2H | | Storage Removable Capacity | 23.3 GB | | Media Type | Professional Disc for DATA (rewritable), Professional Disc for DATA (write-once) | | Data Transfer Rate | 160 MBps (external) / 11 MBps (internal) |
