Plextor announces portable DVD-RAM Drive

The PX-608U supports 5X DVD-RAM functionality for removable data storage applications. Unlike other optical media formats, special burning software is not required to write DVD-RAM media on a personal computer. A user simply inserts a blank DVD-RAM disc and the system automatically formats the disc and assigns a drive letter. Users can drag-and-drop files, use the "save as" command, and remove the disc, which can then be read in any PC or desktop player with a drive that supports the DVD-RAM format. The DVD-RAM format offers up to 9.4 GB per double-sided disc.

"The new PX-608U is a powerful business tool for people who travel and need to create DVD-based presentations and multimedia slide shows on the road," said Michael Arbisi, Vice President, Channel Sales for Plextor. "DVD-RAM functionality also provides an inexpensive and more versatile alternative to carrying around a second hard drive, making the PX-608U even more useful for people who need to store and access data on the go."

PX-608U Ultra-Portable DVD+/-R/RW Drive

The PX-608U multi-drive delivers fast DVD recording speeds of 8X DVD+/-R on single-layer media, 4X DVD+/-R on Double-Layer and Dual-Layer (DL) media, and 5X DVD-RAM. The drives also support 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW, 8X max DVD-ROM, 24X CD-R/RW/ROM. DVD+/-VR is supported for direct disc recording, while DVD+RW background format eliminates the need to manually format a DVD+RW disc. Link
