DVD-RAM is well-known for its versatility. The high number of rewrites it could support makes it suitable for tasks which need the constant writing, erasing and rewriting of data.
It functions in a similar manner to a floppy disc. You can run a computer program from it. You can store files in it. Files can be written. Files can also be deleted.
As DVD-RAM boasts an impressive data transfer speed and a built-in error correction system, it’s a perfect candidate if you’re thinking of backing up or archiving data.
Storage of Sensitive Data
It is currently the preferred choice in the medical and legal industries when it comes to `sensitive ‘data storage. For instance, in hospitals, the disc is use to store X-rays, CAT scans and images with large file sizes. It has emerged as an economical option for medical practitioners to store medical data and retrieve them and share with interested parties.
Archiving Video & ImageFiles
Owing to DVD-RAM's durability and its facility for a larger number of rewrites it's a favourite storage medium for full motion video and document imaging.
Videographers find DVD-RAM an ideal storage medium for DV and analog video files instead of videotape or hard disk. Removable DVD RAM (Type 1) makes it easier to master and archive video instead of hard disk drives which have space limitations or videotapes which suffer from poor quality.
The name of the game is flexibilty and quality.
