"Media-rich content continues to deliver increasingly compelling experiences while demanding larger storage space," said Hock Leow, Creative's Chief Technology Officer. "The home user is looking for a user-friendly solution to record and store CD audio, MP3 files and digital photos, while the business user needs a reliable, broadly-compatible solution for storage, archiving and distribution of multimedia content. Creative now offers solutions to meet all of these needs."
Blaster CD-RW 6424
The follow-up to the successful Blaster CD-RW 4224, the Blaster
CD-RW 6424 now writes
CD-Rs at 6x and CD-RWs at 4x, and reads CD-ROMs at up to 24X (a
maximum read of 3,600KB/sec). It stores up to 650MB of data or
over 74 minutes of CD audio on a single CD-R or CD-RW disc, offering
customers the perfect solution for archiving files, storing large
databases or compiling MP3 files. By using inexpensive CD-R and
CD-RW discs that are easily read by standard CD-ROM drives, the
Blaster CD-RW delivers a low-cost alternative to sharing files
at a fraction of the cost of Zip disks. Blaster CD-RW includes
Ahead Software's Nero CD burning software and Prassi Software's
abCD packet writing software, plus one blank CD-R.
