SAN
DIEGO,
Calif. '“ July
13, 2005 -- Computer peripherals market share leader Mad Dog Multimedia
is now shipping their newest MegaSTOR 16X DVD +/- RW. The MegaSTOR 16X is the
first Dual Format drive and burner on the market able to write to DVD+R Double
Layer media at 8X speed and DVD-R Double Layer at 6X speed. MegaSTOR is an advanced drive designed
to run the newest emerging formats while maintaining full backward compatibility
with older optical media. Whether
users' storage and retrieval requirements include video entertainment, archiving
treasured family memories, business applications or sensitive data backup,
MegaSTOR can read from and write to the media that works best for their
application. And in keeping with Mad
Dog Multimedia's continued commitment to Uncompromising Excellence, the MegaSTOR
is backed by the company's two-year warranty, surpassing all others in the

The
MegaSTOR 6
in 1 is 'Eco-Friendly"
The
internal MegaSTOR supports all Windows formats and delivers up to 8.5GB of
storage on a single piece of Double Layer media. MegaSTOR is manufactured 'Pb free"
making it the first DVD-RW which conforms to the strictest new lead-free
manufacturing environmental rules around the world. The internal MegaSTOR 6-in-1 drive
includes Nero DVD creation and audio ripping software.
The
MegaSTOR 7
in 1 is Designed to Provide a Longer Drive
Life
The
sleekly designed silver aluminum enclosure which houses the external MegaSTOR
16X will complement any desktop or notebook for both PC and Macintosh
users. Because aluminum dissipates
heat, the MegaSTOR will have a longer product life and extended reliability
versus its more expensive and less featured competitors. The external MegaSTOR
is a USB 2.0 device which supports both PC and Macintosh operating systems and
transfers data up to 480MBs.
Additionally, the MegaSTOR is backward compatible to USB 1.1
devices. The MegaSTOR 7-in-1
includes Nero DVD creation and audio ripping software.
