Optical Disc Archive

An Optical Disc Archive (ODA) is a storage system that uses optical discs—similar to CDs and DVDs—to store large amounts of data, often for long-term preservation. It combines multiple discs into a library-like setup, allowing users to access and manage data efficiently. ODAs are known for their durability and data integrity, making them suitable for archiving important information in fields like media, research, and business. They provide a reliable solution for maintaining data over decades, protecting against the risks of data loss associated with hard drives and magnetic storage.
