Configuring Write Verify
The write verify configuration ensures that data is written reliably to an optical disk.
The jukebox ships with write verify enabled. Many software applications also
default to this method of writing.
Writing data on a magneto-optical disk requires two passes. The first pass erases the
data in the sector to which data will be written. The second pass writes new data to
that sector.
When write verify is configured to ON, an additional pass is made over the sector.
This third pass verifies that all data is written correctly to the sector. To add to the
reliability of your data, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you maintain the default
ON setting for write verify. Note that when write verify is ON, write operations take
more time.
If you choose to change the write verify configuration to OFF, refer to “Configuring
Operating Configurations” in Chapter 3.
