Pacific Digital has announced a new DVD recorder, the Mach-8. As the model number
suggests the DVD recorder can write DVD(+R) media at 8x. The Mach-8 is a dual
format recorder so it can also record DVD-R media and does so at
speeds of up to 4x. When looking at the specifications below, the Mach-8 sounds
a lot like the Plextor PX-708A DVD recorder:
| The Mach-8 DVD Burner is fast and reliable, and can record an hour of video onto a DVD+ disc in just 8 minutes. With 8 drives in one, the new drive supports DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats '“ and enables PC users to create DVD discs that can be played on virtually any DVD video player or drive. It writes to DVD+R discs at 8x; to DVD-R at 4x; to CD-R at 40x; and to CD-RW at 24x speeds. It reads DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats at 8X, DVD-ROM at 12x and CD-ROM at 40x speeds. The internal drive (U-30201) is available now at an MSRP of $ 179. An external USB 2.0 model (U-30202) will be available at the end of December.
