(COMTEX) A: Toshiba Marries CD-RW With DVD-ROM A: Toshiba Marries CD-RW With DVD-ROM Jul 30, 1999 (Tech Web - CMP via COMTEX) -- The first CD-RW drive equipped with DVD-ROM readability hits the market on Aug. 2 from Toshiba's disk products division. Set to ship in September, the SD-R1002 drive provides the rewritability of a CD-RW drive with the high-capacity storage of DVD-ROM. "This drive frees people from having to choose one or the other," said Bob Katzive, an analyst at Freeman & Associates, a market researcher. "It gives VARs the chance to offer both capabilities in a drive that costs less and takes less space than two drives with the same capabilities." Toshiba designed the SD-R1002 as a bridge product, said Kathy Longfellow, Toshiba senior product manager for optical products. "It gives customers a way to transition to 17 gigabyte per disk DVD-ROM, while providing backward compatibility with CD-RW," Longfellow said. The drive also enables users to use lower-cost 650-megabyte CD-RW media for local backup and other applications. Pricing was not yet available. -0- Copyright (C) 1999 CMP Media Inc. * end of story *
