Archos has today announed the availability of the Archos Cesar CDRW drive. This drive is according to Archos the smallest CD-RW drive currently available. It writes at 8 speed, rewrites at 8 speed and reads at 24 speed.
It is able to connect to another computer by USB1.1, USB2.0, PCMCIA or FireWire. The drive doesn’t need an extra powercable:
The pocket CD writer is the smallest 8X8X24X CD-RW drive available today, and needs no AC adapter because of Archos’ patented Micro Power Management (MPM). The drive is available with a choice of swappable interfaces, including USB 2.0, FireWire, or PC Card, and is also “hot swappable” – there’s no need to reboot the computer. The Archos Cesar is an easy to use, hand-size mobile solution for making CDs quickly when the user is busy or in transit, and needs to write, update and rewrite at speeds of 8X for CD-R and CD-RW. The CD writer has a media capacity of up to 700 MB (for an 80 minute disk) and data transfer rate of up to 3,600 KB/s max, with a 2MB internal buffer. Writing and reading speeds are up to 8X CD-R Writer, 8X CD-RW Rewriter, 24X Reader (USB 2.0 and FireWire); 8X CD-R Writer, 8X CD-RW Rewriter, 12X Reader (PCMCIA PC card) and 4X CD-R Writer, 4X CD-RW Rewriter and 6X Reader (Optional cable USB 1.1). |
