IOMEGA SUPER DVD 4X INTERNAL DRIVE NOW SHIPPING

Iomega Corporation, a global leader in data storage, announced that the Iomega Super DVD 4X Internal Drive is now shipping worldwide. The new drive helps put an end to consumer confusion over competing DVD technologies by supporting all major DVD and CD standards in a single drive.

A Universal CD And DVD Writer

The Iomega Super DVD 4X drive received the "Best of CeBIT America Award" for personal hardware at the CeBIT America technology trade show held during June in New York City. Judges were impressed by its ability to record all major CD and DVD formats, including DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R and CD-RW.

"The Iomega Super DVD Drive is exactly what DVD users are asking for –- a single optical drive that supports all the major disc formats in use today," said Sean Burke, vice president of mobile and desktop products at Iomega Corporation. "Iomega also has added a software suite that has everything users need to capture, share and protect their valuable digital content."

Included Software

The new Iomega Super DVD 4X internal drive includes a DVD wizard that automatically selects the right software application paired with the right type of disc to eliminate consumer confusion resulting from the seven different media formats currently in use.

Bundled software includes Iomega Automatic Backup software, a PC Magazine Editor's Choice for real-time backup software. Iomega Automatic Backup provides continuous real-time backup to any drive letter, optionally saves multiple revisions and keeps multiple backup sets on different destination drives, allows users to exclude files by file type, and can perform scheduled backups and even cache backups temporarily when the destination drive is not available. Iomega Automatic Backup is also available separately at www.iomega.com for $39.95.

Also included is Iomega's HotBurn Pro software, which complements Windows XP by adding true drag-and-drop file recording, an integrated console interface, integrated CD copying and CD imaging, compilation creation and a jewel case editor. Other features include: a graphical audio layout editor; pop, click and hiss removal filters; and bootable CD creation.

To complete the solution, Iomega Super DVD also includes Sonic MyDVD video-editing software, Sonic Cineplayer software for the highest quality video playback, MusicMatch Jukebox music management software and Adobe ActiveShare photo management software.
