What is mediaAccessDeviceObjectType?

This read-only INTEGER classifies a media access device's drive type: unknown(0), wormDrive(1), magnetoOpticalDrive(2), tapeDrive(3), dvdDrive(4), or cdromDrive(5). An admin reads this to confirm the drive technology installed in a given slot, most commonly tapeDrive(3) in a tape library.

Examples
