What is claimed is: 1. An optical data storage device, comprising: an optically readable disk comprising a body extending in a radial direction from a central axis, the body having a side; an elongated portion having a triangular shape and extending along the side of the body, the elongated portion forming a plurality of spiral windings in cross section, each one of the windings in cross section comprising a first side surface and an adjacent second side surface; and a plurality of optically readable discontinuities located, in cross section, on both the first side surface and the second side surface of the windings, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface together define an angle, in cross section, which is in the range of from about 60째 to about 90째. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein, in cross section, the first side surface and the second side surface terminate at a point. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface of each of the windings, together, define a generally saw-tooth like shape in cross section. 4. An optical data storage device, comprising: an optically readable disk comprising a body extending in a radial direction from a central axis, the body having a side; an elongated portion having a triangular shape and extending along the side of the body, the elongated portion forming a plurality of spiral windings in cross section, each one of the windings in cross section comprising a first side surface and an adjacent second side surface; and a plurality of optically readable discontinuities located, in cross section, on both the first side surface and the second side surface of the windings, wherein, in cross section, the first side surface and the second side surface terminate at a point, and wherein the first side surface and the second side surface together define an angle, in cross section, which is in the range of from about 60째 to about 90째. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the angle is about 90째. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the discontinuities comprise lands. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the discontinuities comprise pits. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the discontinuities comprise a coating of a photosensitive compound. 9. An optical data storage device, comprising: an optically readable disk comprising a body extending in a radial direction from a central axis, the body having a side; an elongated portion extending along the side of the body, the elongated portion comprising a first side surface and a second side surface; a plurality of optically readable discontinuities located on each of the first side surface and the second side surface of the elongated portion; and a head for reading or writing to the disk, the head comprising: a housing, a first lens mounted to the housing through which a first optical beam is output that is directed in a first linear direction, and a second lens mounted to the housing through which a second optical beam is output that is directed in a second linear direction, wherein the first optical beam and the second optical beam intersect and the first linear direction and the second linear direction form an angle that is in the range of from about 90째 to about 120째. 10. A head for reading or writing to an optical disk, comprising: a housing; a first lens mounted to the housing whereby a first optical beam is output that is directed in a first linear direction; and a second lens mounted to the housing whereby a second optical beam is output that is directed in a second linear direction; wherein the first linear direction and the second linear direction form an angle that is in the range of from about 90째 to about 120째. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the first linear direction and the second linear direction intersect and wherein the angle is approximately 90째. 12. A head for reading or writing to the device of claim 1, the head comprising: a housing; a first read/rite sensor/laser mounted to the housing and being configured to read or write to a first winding on the optical disk; and a second read/write sensor/laser mounted to the housing and being configured to read or write to a second winding on the optical disk. 13. An optical data storage device, comprising: an optically readable disk comprising a body extending in a radial direction from a central axis, the body having a side; an elongated portion having a triangular shape and extending along the side of the body the elongated portion forming a plurality of spiral windings in cross section, each one of the windings in cross section comprising a first side surface and an adjacent second side surface; a plurality of optically readable discontinuities located, in cross section, on both the first side surface and the second side surface of the windings; and a head for reading or writing to the optical data storage device, the head comprising, a housing, a first read/write sensor/laser mounted to the housing and being configured to read or write to a first winding on the optical disk, and a second read/write sensor/laser mounted to the housing and being configured to read or write to a second winding on the optical disk, wherein the first read/write sensor/laser is both radially and circumferentially spaced from the second read/write sensor/laser.
