Plextor Intros DVD+R/RW Drive with USB 2.0, IEEE-1394
May 28, 2003
Fremont, CA - Plextor Corporation is taking orders for its new PX-504UF DVD+R/RW drive. The external DVD/CD burner delivers fast 4X DVD+R Writing, 2.4X DVD+RW Rewriting, and 12X max DVD-Reading; the versatile 6-in-1 drive also supports 16X CD Writing, 10X CD-Rewriting, and 40X CD-Reading.
The PX-504UF DVD+R/RW drive features Plextor's first dual interface to support both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and full-speed compliant IEEE-1394 FireWire for high-speed data transfer. Now PlexWriter customers can easily share a single DVD/CD recorder between multiple Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows-based personal computer systems. The new Plextor drive also bundles a package of premium digital media software, including Roxio’s Easy CD Creator 5.3 DVD Edition, PhotoSuite 5 SE and Toast 5 Lite.
The Plextor PX-504UF is a highly versatile DVD/CD burner specifically designed to deliver high-quality recording performance, the manufacturer reports. The drive gives users the ability to create, edit, and share customized DVDs and CDs using video, photos, audio, and data. Users can use the Roxio applications to back up and archive up to 4.7GB on a single-sided recordable DVD disc and create photo albums for viewing with DVD players.
Lossless-linking technology enables users to perform basic editing tasks directly on the DVD disc, so there is no need to reload DVD content back to a PC to make minor changes, and no need to re-burn an entire DVD after making small edits. The unit features a 2MB data buffer and burst data transfer rates of 5.5 MB/sec., allowing users to burn a 4.7GB CD disc in less than fifteen minutes.
The Plextor PX-504UF DVD+R/RW drive is scheduled for shipment in June 2003. It will also be available nationwide through Best Buy stores.
The PX-504UF drive has an MSRP of $329.00 USD.
