JVC DVD Jukebox ready for the trash

This dinosaur aged quickly, it little than four years, it has been replaced by a few hard drives. 

It had the capacity of 600 DVD-RAM disc and could read six dics at once.  A mechanical arm would grab the disc from the stack and put it in the drive for burning / reading.

1.4TB capacity over the 600 discs, LVD SCSI interface.

Now the DVD-Ram discs have been removed and it is ready for the bin.
