The phase-change medium shifts from the magnetic field to the field of lasers. It's derived from write-once, read-many (WORM) technology, in which a laser beam alters the molecular structure-and thus, the reflectivity-of the medium. 3, record 1, English, - phase%2Dchange%20medium

Support de mémoire constitué d'un matériau qui présente deux états physiques différents, stables à température ambiante et sur lequel les bits sont inscrits par un chauffage : le matériau passe d'un état à l'autre. 2, record 1, French, - support%20%C3%A0%20changement%20de%20phase

Le support physique est sensé être réinscriptible environ 500 000 fois. Il n'est donc pas recommandé d'installer un système d'exploitation à usage permanent tel Linux sur un disque optique à changement de phase. De tels systèmes d'exploitation utilisent souvent le disque à des fins de cache mémoire. Au fil du temps, l'espérance de vie du support à changement de phase risque d'être atteinte. 3, record 1, French, - support%20%C3%A0%20changement%20de%20phase
