Mt. Rainier allows write access to a disc within seconds after insertion and spin-up, even while a background formatting sequence is taking place. Before this technology, a user would have to wait for the formatting to complete before writing any data to a new disc. It is even possible to read (but

An MRW-formatted CD-RW with a UDF filesystem gives approximately 500 MB free space. 805:
