S&F kondigd aan dat zij zeer spoedig (begin vierde kwartaal) haar 12/4/32 (re)writer op de markt brengt voor $399 en een lading software.
Following the company's successful launch of the world's first 8x CD-Recorder in November of 1997, this latest announcement solidifies Smart and Friendly's position as a technology leader -- engineering, designing and developing optical storage solutions that are a full two generations ahead of the competition.
With unprecedented 12x Write, 4x ReWrite and 32x Playback speeds, an unparalleled software suite including eight of today's hottest-selling software applications, and an Estimated Street Price (ESP) of $399 (internal model, Part No. SAF1200), the new CD Rocket Mach 12 will make professional performance available to individual users and hobbyists in early Fourth Quarter, 1999.
The CD Rocket Mach 12 features Adaptec's Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe, allowing users to easily create audio and backup CDs, access music on the Internet, fine tune music tracks, enhance photos and videos like a pro, as well as create personalized CD labels.
An all-in-one solution for CD-Recording, this new software enables corporate, government and power users to create content with professional results. Combined with the performance of the CD Rocket Mach 12, users can create a full 650MB CD in as little as six minutes.
Er zijn geruchten dat Plextor ook bezig is met een 12x brander, en volgens deze bron waren er wat problemen met de 8x versie van S&F. Als je het snelheids record wilt gaan verbreken, zou ik wachten waar Plextor of Yamaha mee gaat komen.
