• 10 - point drop testing ensures durability
  3M optical disks, now by Imation, are designed to last - even under less-than-perfect conditions. Our optical disk cartridge design has passed a rigorous 10-point drop test that's more stringent than the industry standard. Optical disks from Imation are engineered to resist dust, dirt and the shocks and stresses of transport. So your data doesn't disappear, and neither does your peace of mind.
  
  
• Long archival life
  Tests show that under normal office conditions - 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) and 65% relative humidity - Optical disks from Imation will last more that 150 years with a 99.5% probability of no data loss. Even after 390 years, there's still a 95% probability of no data loss. So you can use Imation Optical disks in confidence.
  
  
• Performance that won't degrade over time
  Imation optical disks are engineered to exceed ISO standards for Carrier-to- Noise Ratio (CNR), even after 10 million read/write cycles,. Other optical disks may degrade over time - and as CNR decreases, the chance of misreading the information on the disk increases. But with Imation optical disks, your data comes through loud an clear time after time.
  
  
• Preformatted and custom-formatted disks
  Preformatted Optical disks from Imation save up to 30 minutes of formatting time per disk. In addition to offering disks preformatted for DOS and Macintosh*, Imation offers a custom formatting service designed to help you get the most out of your optical disks. Contact your Imation representative for more information on this service.
