DVD-RAM: rewritable data storage in a protective cartridge

DVD-RAM was designed for repeated writing and erasing of digital data. Early 2.6GB discs were supplied in protective cartridges, making the format distinct from the familiar DVD discs used in everyday DVD players.

Panasonic model numbers help identify the media type. The LM-DB26 is a 2.6GB Type 2 DVD-RAM cartridge. Cartridge type matters when selecting a compatible drive, so check the exact label before purchasing or attempting to access stored data.

Type 1 and Type 2 DVD-RAM

These early cartridge formats look similar at a glance, but their construction affects how the disc can be handled and which drives can read it.
