  • Patent number: 6272086
    Abstract: A tamper-resistant Hard-WORM data storage system and a magneto-optical storage disk therefor is disclosed. The disk has a plurality of sectors thereon containing one or more uniquely formatted fields to provide an indication that the disk is a Write-Once Read Many (WORM) disk. A motor is provided in the storage system for rotating the disk at an operational rotational speed and a laser read/write (R/W) head unit is provided for reading and writing information in the sectors. A read/write (R/W) control unit within the storage system controls read and write operations on the disk in response to commands from an external data processing device, such as a computer. The R/W control unit is adapted to decode the one or more uniquely formatted fields in order to read and correctly interpret information contained therein.
