Hi Emir, based on the experience of our hospital with mechanical disc (dvd, or cd) with robot carousel and burners, this concept is not worth following. It is simply too slow and the system becomes unreliable. The data arrives inevitably, ok, but most of the times they arrive too late (due to heavy traffic at the mechanical part of the system) and the surgery operation is already finished or the procedure is finished that the surgeon does not need the data anymore.
After our hospital installed Linux based IBM storage clusters, all radiological data are now stored in this electronically (no more mechanical part) and the data just comes like a breeze. Of course, there are network congestions too, specially between 7 AM and 9 AM when most workstations start to boot and load the various software (we are not using webbased software yet, except for the browser used for internet surfing). Not to forget that mechanical systems are more prone to breakdown and much more difficult (more expensive) to repair and maintain. Go for pure electronic storage. The price per data volume keeps getting cheaper by time anyway.
