Abstract

The market for removable-media mass storage devices is driven by mushrooming memory requirements for imaging, CAD/CAM, and archiving applications. The diverse products serving these needs will slash as users and integrators weigh performance requirements, functionality, and costs, according to Mass Storage Outlook, a market analysis published by Freeman Associates, Inc., (1993). The authors analyzed seven categories of tape libraries and six categories of optical-disk libraries to determine the key trends and issues in this dynamic market
