In efforts to enhance Hi-SPACE's brand image and strengthen its market position in multimedia and audio, Hi-SPACE continues to consolidate its established position as a European pioneer in the world market for recordable optical media.

Hi-SPACE's 24-carat gold CD-R disc stores up to 80 minutes of music and 700Mb of data. Its 24-carat gold coating gives it a lifetime of over a hundred years, making it the ideal long-term archiving format for data of all kinds. The 4.7Gb DVD-R disc is the first European-produced DVD-RAM disc.

This advanced storage medium makes it possible to archive large amounts of data and create prototype or pre-production DVDs. The addition of the 24-carat gold CD-R and DVD-R will complement Hi-SPACE's wide range of recordable optical media.
