Further extending its mobile rewritable technology leadership to
the popular CD-R/RW format, Toshiba has introduced the SR-C8002
slim-line CD-R/RW drive – now providing customers with a single
source for a complete line of small, slim, light and low-power notebook
storage solutions.
Allowing greater flexibility and customization to customer profiles,
the SR-C8002 completes the Toshiba collection of rewritable storage
solutions for mobile PC OEMs. While Toshiba has focused on the slim-line
combination drive as its primary rewritable format, the popular
slim-line CD-R/RW format provides a simpler storage option at a
lower price point for entry level or mid-range mobile customers.
The DVD addition available with slim-line combination drives enables
mobile PC manufacturers to offer that product as a value-sell upgrade
in higher-end notebooks.
Currently available in volume production to mobile PC manufacturers,
the SR-C8002 slim-line CD-R/RW drive reads CD-R/CD-RW media with
a capacity of 650MB. The drive features a fast-writing and read
speed of 8X for CD-R and CD-RW and employs a full 24X speed maximum
playback for CD-ROM.
