The optical disk is a newly developed secondary data storage medium which is based on laser technology. Optical disk technology has achieved higher densities, larger capacities and longer archival life than magnetic disk technology. To balance this, access times are slower and the write once nature of some optical systems makes them unsuitable for some applications.
