The HP C1113M 14X MO drive is compatible with ISO format 5.25 inch MO disk, therefore it allows access to old data which maybe on 1st or 2nd generation media. And the drive also accepts CCW (Continuous Composite Write-once) disks for many purposes and applications. C1113M MO drive is the perfect solution for professional use such as Medical, Banks, Telecommunication, DTP, A/V editing and etc. The C1113M MO drive can handle animation such as MPEG-2 level picture. This C1113M is mainly for jukeboxes but not in every case. A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. Both 130 mm and 90 mm form factors exist. The technology was introduced at the end of the 1980s. Although optical, they appear as hard drives to the operating system and do not require a special file system (they can be formatted as FAT, HPFS, NTFS, etc.).

Magneto-optical drives by default check information after writing it to the disc, and are able to immediately report any problems to the operating system. This means that writing can actually take three times longer than reading, but it makes the media extremely reliable, unlike the CD-R or DVD-R technologies upon which data is written to media without any concurrent data integrity checking. Using a magneto-optical disc is a lot more like using a diskette drive than using a CD-RW.
