RITEK announced
this morning that they will be the first company to launch 16x DVD+R DL media. According to the information on their website, an entire
8.5GB disc can be written in as little as 10 minutes.
RITEK Corporation, the global leading manufacturer of storage media, has once
again outdone competitors with its outstanding technology to become the first company to launch DVD+R DL 16X. RITEK's DVD+R DL offers up
to 16X of writing speed and is undoubtedly a welcoming product for modern PC users who are always concerned about speed.
Before
Blu-ray discs become the next mainstream media, RITEK Corporation has offered its new DVD+R DL 16X as consumers' best solution for
backups and data storage. Apart from having the advantages of large capacity of 8.5GB and the convenience of not having to change sides
during the burning process, at a writing speed at 16X, it will only take 10 minutes to write 8.5GB of data on to the disc. This is
equivalent to 4 hours of high-resolution DVD image; 16 hours of VHS quality image or 120 hours of MP3 music. RITEK DVD+R DL 16X offers a
substantial increase in data/image/music burning speed and convenience for the consumers and it is most suitable for company or
individual use when there is a need for backup for massive amount of data. With RITEK DVD+R DL 16X, the days of long waiting time for
data backup are over.
While RITEK may be the first company to get 16x DVD+R DL media to market, Ricoh launched their own discs back in March. If you'd like to read more,
