MEMOREX EXPANDS OPTICAL STORAGE WITH CD-RW/DVD COMBO DRIVE

Memorex continues its leadership in optical storage with the introduction of its latest CD and DVD combo drive. The Memorex internal CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive sports a unique look and feel with two products in one -- a DVD-ROM drive and a CD recorder -- all in one drive bay. Featuring the ability to read and record CDs at 48X, rewrite CDs at 24X, and read and play DVDs at 16X speeds, this Memorex drive makes it easy to create, archive, duplicate and view a wide variety of formats. Users can create their own music CDs or digital photo albums, back-up critical data, and watch the latest movies with this one attractive device.

The Memorex Combo Drive solution comes with a comprehensive software and hardware bundle that includes:

• Samples of Memorex's award-winning CD-R and CD-RW blank media, a complete installation hardware kit, and comprehensive documentation.
• Ahead Software's NeroBurning ROM 5.5, the industry recognized solution for CD recording. It delivers ultimate reliability and ease of use, and provides an extensive set of features not available in Nero Express, the software most commonly offered in competitors' products.
• Ahead Software's InCD, an integrated packet writing solution that offers the greatest stability, ease of use, and compatibility available. Exclusively for rewritable media, InCD allows you to simply drag and drop files direct to CD, or edit and save files directly onto disc.
• CyberLink's PowerDVD XP 4, the highest rated DVD playback software available, enabling interactive viewing of both DVD-Videos and VideoCDs.

"The Memorex Combo Drive provides an all-in-one solution for CD recording and DVD playback," said Mark Becknauld, product manager, optical and magnetic storage products. "This product introduction complements our growing family of drives by offering a high-quality multi-function solution that caters to the needs of today's PC users."

The Memorex CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive offers the best way to create, archive, duplicate and view any information. The software and accessories included make installation quick, backup simple and professional recording easy.
