This Standard specifies optical disk formats that provide parallel read/write methods with written data divided among 5 disks.
This Standard specifies two types of optical disk formats:
- Non-parity disk type: This type allows for read/write operations on all user data divided among 5 disks.
- Parity disk type: This type allows for read/write operations on all user data divided among 4 disks and for read/write operations on parity data from/to 1 disk.
This Standard specifies the read/write area and the data structure.
