We zijn nog maar net verblijd met 16 speed cd-recorders, maar volgens CDR-Info kunnen we op korte termijn de eerste 24 speed versies al verwachten. Sanyo zal namelijk binnenkort haar 24/10/40 speed CD-RW burner uitbrengen, in zowel IDE als SCSI versies. Volgens onderstaande info krijgt hij een 2MB buffer en het bekende BurnProof. Hm, binnenkort je cd's in 3 minuutjes volgefikt?
Last year, Yamaha was the first company which ever released 16x writer (even partial) in retail - back in November 2000. The first Sanyo 16x CDR-W drive came out in January 2001(CLV) (TDK CyClone 161040) and the first PleXWriter 16x drive came out this month (Feb2001). As you can understand there is a great competition between various manufacturers and the results are faster and better recorders for us..
Do you think that 16x writing speed is already fast enough? Then i imagine hearing about 20x and 24x CDR-W drives would make you jump off your seat...Sanyo soon will release the first (?) 24x writing CDR-W (true CLV) drive. For taking a small taste click on the left picture. You will notice that the drive comes from Waitec (they named it MEGALUS), which however uses Sanyo OEM CDR-W drive.
Drive features:
- 24x writing, 10x re-writing, 40x reading
- 2MB of Buffer
- BURN-Proof technology
- Supports both Ultra SCSI and ATAPI interfaces
There are 3 issues here:
1) When the Sanyo 24x drive will pop-up out and how much it will cost (and of course how it will perform)?
2) How the competition (Yamaha) will respond to the new drive? - we know but we will keep it secret - for now![]()
3) Who will won the next 24x writing race?
