As successor to the MCE3064AP and MCE3130AP optical disk drives, the MCM3130AP optical disk drive achieves high-speed operation while maintaining compatibility with the MCE3064AP and MCE3130AP. The flexibility and expandability realized through ATAPI interfaces as well as the high performance and command sets of the optical disk drives allow the user to construct disk subsystems featuring advanced functions, high performance, large-scale storage and high reliability.
