Verbatim Makes a Quantum Leap in ReWriteable CD Performance with New 16x-24x Ultra Speed CD-RW Discs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2002 Industry's First 24x Ultra Speed CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) The only rewritable CD technology. CD-RW disks look like other CD media, but with close inspection, they have a more polished surface with a very dark blue-gray cast.

To ensure high reliability and durability at 24x speed, Verbatim's new Ultra Speed 16x-24x CD-RW discs are manufactured with Advanced-SERL, a new patented recording layer developed by Verbatim's parent company, Mitsubishi(R) Chemical Corp. (MCC (The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, Austin, TX) The first high-tech research and development consortium in the U.S., created in 1982 by leading companies within the electronics industry. ). Advanced-SERL overcomes the difficulties in CD-RW re-writing to ensure sufficient erasability at high speeds, reduction of media noise during erase/rewrite cycles, and a long archival life. To achieve the industry's highest re-write speed, Verbatim's 16x-24x Ultra Speed CD-RW discs incorporate a new writing method called the 2T Writing Strategy. The new writing method was required because at 24x and higher recording speeds, conventional recording technology cannot generate enough "cooling time (Law) such a lapse of time as ought, taking all the circumstances of the case in view, to produce a subsiding of passion previously provoked. - Wharton. See also: Cooling " for creating stable amorphous Unorganized or vague. A lack of structure. For example, the amorphous state of a spot on a rewritable optical disc means that the laser beam will not be reflected from it, which is in contrast to a crystalline state which will reflect light.

Recognized as a breakthrough in ultra-speed recording, the 2T Writing Strategy is already gaining widespread support from leading drive and IC makers and has been proposed as the standard for 24x CD-RW recording. Industry Standard Compliance The latest release of Orange Book Part III Volume 3 details the specifications for Ultra Speed CD-RW media. The discs, which can only be recorded and erased by 16x-24x drives carrying the Ultra Speed CDRW See CD-RW. logo, provide backward read compatibility with legacy multi-read CD/DVD-ROM drives, 2x-4x drives and 10x-12x drives. With the ability to support both CAV (1) (Component Analog Video) See YPbPr. (2) (Constant Angular Velocity) Rotating an optical disc or hard disk at a constant speed. Contrast with "constant linear velocity" (CLV), in which the platter rotates at varying speeds. and P-CAV (Partial-CAV) See CAV. recording at 16x-24x speeds, Verbatim's new Ultra Speed 16x-24x CD-RW discs are the best solution for use with new Mt Rainier-compliant CD-RW burners. The discs provide superior performance for random access applications such as data storage, backups and archiving that require high-speed recording in the CAV mode. Verbatim DataLifePlus 16x-24x CD-RW media delivers more than 1,000 overwrites and an archival life of more than 30 years, making it a cost-effective storage solution for a wide range of applications. To ensure the broadest compatibility with Ultra Speed CD-RW drives, Verbatim provides its 16x-24x CD-RW discs to leading Ultra Speed CD-RW drive manufacturers for high-speed testing. Pricing, Availability The new DataLifePlus 16x-24x CD-RW media will be available in singles and multi-packs through retailers, Internet resellers and distributors in September for a suggested retail price of $1.49 per disc. Verbatim backs the quality of its complete line of DataLifePlus media with a lifetime warranty.
