NEC AD-7173S DVD Writer

Possibly more nimble than you ever envisioned.

Writing to highly compact optical storage media is no major hurdle any more. Today, users trust Optiarc’s high-performance DVD-writer for perfect speed, precision and comfort.

Our best examples are these four models: The AD-7170A on the basis of P-ATA technology with the AD-7173A as its Labelflash™ variant. And the AD-7170S using the new S-ATA technology (AD-7173S with Labelflash™).

All four models write to DVD-RAMs with 12x speed. But their 18x speed when writing to DVD-Rs or DVD +Rs is also at the head of the pack, with DVD +RW, DVD-R DL and DVD +R DL neck-and-neck at 8x speed.

Exceedingly fast. Don’t you think?
