Pacific Digital Corp expanded its storage product line when it added the Pacific Digital Mach-8, an 8X DVD Multi+/-Format Burner for PCs. The internal drive comes bundled with DVD and CD creation software, as well as DVD video playback software. A complete solution for data backup, storage and distribution, the new drive can be used for everything from sharing films and music to archiving 4.7GB of content on one DVD disc.

The Mach-8 DVD Burner is fast and reliable, and can record an hour of video onto a DVD+ disc in just 8 minutes. With 8 drives in one, the new drive supports DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats and enables PC users to create DVD discs that can be played on virtually any DVD video player or drive. It writes to DVD+R discs at 8x, to DVD-R at 4x, to CD-R at 40x, and to CD-RW at 24x speeds. It reads DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats at 8x, DVD-ROM at 12x and CD-ROM at 40x speeds.

The internal drive (U-30201) is available now at an MSRP of $179. An external USB 2.0 model (U-30202) will be available at the end of December. The new drive can be found at Staples, OfficeMax, Sam's Club, Fry's Electronics, Buy.com, Amazon.com and other dealers listed on the Pacific Digital Web site.
