Reprinted from an EZQuest press release:
EZQuest introduced its fast Boa 8x dual-format DVD-RW/+RW external drives today at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. The new drives provide the highest speeds current technology allows. They write to DVD+R and DVD-R at 8x; DVD+RW and DVD-RW at 4x; CD-R at 24x; and CD-RW at 10x speeds and they read DVDs at 12x and CDs at 40x speeds. In addition, they feature new technology that offers very reliable recording during high-speed writing; precise recording onto discs that may be warped or uneven; auto-adjustable writing that minimizes deterioration of DVD-RW discs; and enhanced stability during high-speed recording and playback.
“Boa 8x drives are complete solutions for authoring video or music, transferring files from one computer to another, and backing up or archiving data,” said Ebrahim Zmehrir, EZQuest president. “They’re fast, they’re compatible with all DVD+, DVD- and CD media, and they come ready to plug in and start burning.”
The Boa 8x FireWire model is available in two versions. One bundles Toast Lite and Dantz Retrospect Express software, and has an MSRP of $249 in the U.S. The other features powerful Toast Titanium and Dantz Retrospect Express, and has an MSRP of $299 in the U.S. A USB 2.0 model is also available at an MSRP of $249 in the U.S. It comes bundled with Sonic My DVD and Dantz Retrospect Express.
The new drives are compatible with Mac OSX, Win 98SE, Win 2000, Win ME and Win XP, as well as later Win versions. They come ready to use with software, a carrying case and a cable, and are available.
