Abstract
Magneto-Optical (MO) disk drives hold some winning cards to fight against Winchester drives: - huge bit densities - removable cartridges. But most analyses conclude that MO disks will overthrow magnetic disks in the field of data storage devices only when they will be competitive on other characteristics such as : - direct overwriting - access times - data transfert rate.
