The capacity of CD libraries is a factor of the number of shelves or slots and the capacity of each disk. For example, a 25-slot library using 5.2 GB media provides 130 GB of storage. Durability Sony products have gained a reputation for quality and dependability in the industry. Our robotic assemblies are designed for quick media exchange times and maximum reliability. Performance Together with superior drive performance, Sony optical libraries use rugged, well-engineered robotics to handle media transport.
CD libraries use a single picker mechanism.
The picker mechanism retrieves the disc requested by the user and moves it to one of the drives to be read. Once the data is read, the picker removes the disc from the drive, returns it to its original shelf location and selects another disc to insert in the drive.
