Write-Once Read-Many

storage (WORM) Any type of storage medium to which data can

be written to only a single time, but can be read from any

number of times. Typically this is an optical disk whose

surface is permanently etched using a laser in order to record

information. WORM media have a significantly longer shelf

life than magnetic media and thus are used when data must be

preserved for a long time.
