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 8000 optical drives and media, Series 1800 libraries can store from 870 gigabytes to 4.2 terabytes of data in a permanent archive with a minimum data life of 30 years.

Complete field upgradability between models gives you the flexibility you need to keep up with changing storage requirements. This scalability protects your customer's hardware investment and protect their data investment. Exceptional reliability and expandability have made 1800 Series Libraries the choice of OEMs and system integrators throughout the world.
