<p>A data storage cartridge for a data storage disk drive has a radio-frequency identification RFID tag. An RF source activates the RFID tag by transmitting an RF signal and the RFID tag emits a response signal. A detector detects the emitted response signal which contains at least one of an encoded ID and one or more characteristics of the disk. The encoded ID and characteristics are forwarded to a micro-controller for discrimination and identification of the inserted object. The RF source and detector are preferably contained in an integrated reader device. The RFID tag and reader device communicate with one another over a RF channel. The encoded information of the RFID tag provides identification of different types or generations of data storage disks or provides a secure keying mechanism for authorized access to proprietary software.</p> |
