It is safe to say having larger and faster data storage such as a 4TB SATA SSD or even better, streamline 32Gb/s NVMe SSD is an improvement over optical media in term of speed, size and popularity. However, to certain users, optical media’s advantages of long shelf life and resistance to alteration on data are the key requirements to their mission critical applications. Because of these demands, ICY DOCK came up with solutions for those who seek to replace existing slim optical drives to a faster drive system, along with those who still see utility in using optical media or have to deal with large amounts of optical media. ICY DOCK ODD/FDD solutions can help accommodate various builds ranging from a personal workstation to a large data center.
