We have been using an Optimem WORM 1Gb optical disk for some time.
The drivers are available from SUN ($2k?) and it simply rides on the
SCSI bus.  We use it for storing map data for our workstations (we are
an R & D bunch working on command and control stuff ).  While there
have been some problems, generally, it seems to work fine.  We are 
currently running on a sun 2/160 however, we plan to run on our 3/160
as well as our new 3/280 system.
