A magneto-optical drive is a type of storage device that uses both magnetic and optical technologies to read and write data. The main characteristics of magneto-optical drives include: 1. **Data Recording**: Magneto-optical drives record data using a combination of optical laser technology and magnetic fields. When writing data, a laser heats a specific area of the disk to a point where the magnetic properties can be altered. This process allows the data to be stored in a magnetic layer.
