It is estimated that up to 100 Gbytes of primary data from digital detectors have to be stored each year. The amount of reduced data is at least one order of magnitude smaller. Although the storage density for magnetic recording can be made higher, only the optical technic can provide a substantial denser medium than the photographic emulsion. It seems likely that optical read-only devices will be developed for archival storage of data in this decade. Magnetic recording of data will still be preferred whenever changing of the information is important.
