Abstract
This disclosure relates to thin optical storage media that may be compliant with conventional DVD drives. Unlike conventional DVDs, however, the described media generally has a thickness profile less than 1.2 mm. The media may further include one or more protrusions protruding from a major surface of the media which define a thickness of approximately 1.2 mm within the clamping area of the media. In some embodiments, the media may further include one or more recesses recessed into a major surface within the clamping area of the media. Two or more optical storage media may be packaged by stacking the media in a configuration that defines an overall stacked thickness that is less than 1.2 mm for each individual medium in the package.
