Optical disk library
An Optical disk library is a form of tertiary storage (although sometimes offline as used in disaster recovery situations) in which many optical discs (such as DVDs) are stored in a "jukebox" configuration. Before the advent of the modern SAN and much cheaper hard disks, large-volume storage on DVD was more price-efficient than magnetic media.
