RITEK Announces DVD 8X during Computex

RITEK announced brand new 8X DVD+R and DVD-R disks during COMPUTEX Taipei. High-speed recordable DVD disks require a highly precise production process as well as a high-level technology of dying and mass production. RITEK has achieved this requirement, which is definitely the best demonstration of RITEK's strong R&D capabilities.

RITEK also launched a brand new series of compact disks based on the concept "X", including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-RAM and CD-R/RW, and decided to first present them to the public during COMPUTEX this year.

RITEK showcases 2GB compact flash cards, 6-in-1 card readers, 512 MB USB 2.0 EZ drives, 52x/32x/52x CD-RW drives and 4X dual DVD-RW drives and many other storage devices.

For more information of RITEK's latest products, please visit its booth at D008/010/012/107/109/111 during COMPUTEX from September 22 to 26.

Well I guess its nice to buy some -R media at 8x. NO burner can use it yes but I guess its good that they are getting ready for it.

Personally I'm waiting for Pioneer to announce a dual 8x burner before my next upgrade.

They are not really expensive, right now they are about the same price as a sony 4x dual format burner (internal).

$229.00 is the cheapest price I found on the PLEXTOR 708 8X DUAL DVD BURNER.

I've bought plextor products from them before. I'm still debating on buying a internal or external one. Plextor external should be coming out in the USA soon.

Exactly, the plextor is a dual format burner. But it burns + at up to 8x and - at up to 4x. Its miss leading to call it a dual 8x burner. Anyway Like I said I'm waiting for Pioneer to announce a dual 8x. I figure thats the best time to upgrade.
