Johannesburg, 15 Dec 2000

LG Electronics (LGE) has introduced its first combination CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive - a single optical storage unit ideal for a desktop system.

The JCC-8120D combines fast CD recording (12X CD-R and 8X CD-RW), rapid CD/DVD reading (32X CD and 8X DVD), high-speed (12X, 8X and 4X) CD-R writing and quick CD-RW writing capability (8X, 4X & 2X CD-RW).

The combo drive offers high speed access (CD 100 msec, DVD 120 msec) and CD-audio extraction (32X max), with a data transfer rate of 4,800 KB/sec for CD (max) and 10,800 KB/sec for DVD (max), for outstanding performance in either CD-RW or DVD-ROM formats. It also features a 2MB buffer to reduce data transfer bottlenecks.

"The combo drive is compatible with several CD-R and CD-RW writing methods, including Disc at Once, Session at Once, Track at Once, Variable or Fixed Packet Write and Multi-session," explains Jaehong Kim, product manager: IT products at LG Electronics SA.

"It also offers UDMA-66 support, an ATAPI interface and support for all D/DVD formats to improve compatibility and ease of use. The product includes RPC2 DVD Copy Standard for enhanced disc copy .

"The combo drive merges the best of optical storage and display devices into one high-speed, hybrid product that demonstrates LGE`s ability to meet the need for cutting edge peripherals at a reasonable price," says Kim.
