FIELD: information storage. SUBSTANCE: device has interface for data receiving, storing equipment for recording data which are output by interface to magnetic or optical of MO medium, control unit which controls data storage to said medium. Goal of invention is achieved by electronic temporary storage, which provides serial storage of received data which are output by interface, units for output of information about at least one characteristic of environment or operations of said storage equipment or at least one part of it and for output of representative information about this value. Control unit provides possibility to generate storage mode using results of comparison of received value to at least one pre-set value using condition that if received value is greater than threshold, than no access to drive is permitted, if received value is less than or is equal to threshold, access is permitted and recording mode is started in which data from electronic medium for temporary data carrier are stored to record medium. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 16 cl, 10 dwg
