Fantom Drives today announced that their new TEAC-based Fantom Drives FireWire 16x10x40 CD-ReWritable drive is available. They say this brings affordable high speed CD-ReWritable performance to users of Macintosh and Windows computers equipped with FireWire.
The Fantom Drives FireWire 16x10x40 TEAC CD-ReWritable drive is targeted towards multimedia and creative professionals with tight workflow demands. The drive's advanced rewritable technology eclipses conventional 4x CD-RW speeds, which enables the TEAC 16x10x40 to rewrite an entire 650MB CD-Recordable disc in approximately five minutes. Additionally, the drive's 40x maximum CD read speed and high-speed audio extraction features outperform many of the built-in CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives included with most desktop computer systems today. |
Using TEAC's new 16x10x40 drive mechanism, which implements buffer under-run prevention technology, the Fantom Drives 16x10x40 TEAC CD-ReWritable drive features fault-tolerant CD burning. Historically, in order to record a CD successfully and without errors, it was of utmost importance to provide a CD-Recorder with a steady and uninterrupted stream of data. Because earlier CD recording drives lacked a mechanism for recovering from a sharp decrease in the data stream (due to a slow source disk or background processes running on the computer), recording a CD could easily result in a "Buffer Underrun" error and, therefore, a wasted piece of recordable media.
This new TEAC Mechanism With Buffer Underrun Prevention Technology sounds nice, but does it work? The price will be around $349. It is shipped with Adaptec Toast "Standard" CD-Mastering software (for Macintosh) or Easy-CD Creator (for Windows).
