Removable Storage Media Guide
Removable Storage Media Guide www.verbatim.com CD CD-R CD-R CD R (Compact Disc Disc-Recordable) Recordable) is designed for storing Data and/or A Audio with recording speeds from 1X to 52X (dependant on the hardware used). All CD-R media is backward compatible to 1X. CD-R Data discs are compatible with a wide range of CD-Recordable recorders and players. These compact discs are ideal for data storage, multi-media presentations, digital photo albums/images, archiving/back-up and distribution of important mportant files. CD-R Audio discs cs are specifically specifically designed for use/playback in audio recorders which bear the th Audio Compact Disc Recordable logo. These audio recorders search for copyright protection on the CD-R disc when inserted in the drive. If a CD-R Audio disc is not detected, it will reject the disc and not record to the disc. Once the recorded Audio or Data CD-R is finalized it can be played back in any CD player. Verbatim’s generous selection of pack sizes and configurations in the CD-R lineup has something for everyone. All of Verbatim CDs are founded in years of research and improvements that have made Verbatim one of the most recognized names in recordable and rewritable CD media. One of Verbatim’s CD unique surfaces is Digital Vinyl CD-R™. Combining a groovy vinyl look with the quality and performance of Verbatim CD-R technology, Digital Vinyl CD-R discs are a great way to save LP collections, make a standout business presentation or simply burn your personal music mix. Delivering superior read and write performance using Verbatim’s technology, each disc is protected by a special dual-layer coating, safeguarding your data for years to come. Designed after the popular 45-rpm record format, Digital Vinyl discs come in an assortment of 5 colors. Also available: Digital Vinyl CD-RTM Metal - Record your music mix in gold or platinum. CD-RW (Rewritable) Rewriteable means that you can use the discs more than once and that the contents of the discs can be erased and rewritten. CD-RW discs are used just like CD-R discs. To rewrite to a CD-RW disc, an end-user must erase the entire disc from previous recording and then rewrite and finalize (you can not just add additional files as needed). CD-RW media is available in the following rewritable speeds: 2X-4X (standard speed- backward compatible with all CD-RW drives), High Speed 4X-12X, Ultra Speed 16X-24X and Ultra Speed+ 32X. DVD DVD All DVD media formats share common parameters for use in a wide range of personal and professional applications applications. DVD+/ DVD+/- R formats are very similar in capacity and speed. The main difference is the hardware or drive that supports each format. Each DVD hardware manufacturer has developed their hardware to record using DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW or DVD-RAM media. With older models, the media format is specific to the drive type. If you do not use the appropriate media that the drive/recorder is developed for, the hardware will not be able to record data or video files and eject the media. However, with recent models, most manufacturers have developed DVD drives labeled Dual Format drives which are compatible with both DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW media. Perfect for DVD content distribution and archiving, Verbatim 16X DVD+R and DVD-R are the fastest write-once DVD media available. One of Verbatim’s unique options in DVD media is the DigitalMovie™ DVD. Offering the nostalgia and charm of the movie reels that symbolize cinemas today, Verbatim’s unique DigitalMovie DVD media puts the fun in recording, viewing and sharing home movies. DigitalMovie DVDs are premium quality discs with unsurpassed performance and reliability. Utilizing Verbatim’s proprietary Metal AZO recording dye, DigitalMovie DVDs are perfect for backing up DVD video titles and transferring video tapes to optical media that won’t degrade over time. DVD RW Verbatim DVD RW offers 4.7GB or 120 Minutes of rewritable storage capacity, superior recording quality, and compatibility for DVD+RW and DVD-RW writers. Preferred by DVD drive manufacturers, Verbatim DVD RW utilizes Super Eutectic Recording Layer (SERL), which minimizes noise during write/rewrite cycles and provides superior archival stability. Verbatim DVD RW media is compatible with most DVD-ROM drives. Users can write to the disc in multiple sessions as long as the disc has not been finalized. DVD+RW technology is used by consumers for both audio/video and data storage applications. With multi-session writing technology, users who have not finalized the disc can quickly add documents, data and video segments without having to open and close write sessions. By incorporating the +RW specification for defect management, manufacturers ensure that data is accurately written to and read from the disc. DVD DVD-RAM (DVD Random Access Memory) This rewritable format provides 100,000 write/rewrite cycles. DVD-RAM DVD RAM features random write/read support, so data, video and audio can be stored and accessed like a hard drive using standard drag-and-drop techniques. No finalization is required, so users do not have to open and close write sessions. However, the format specifications that allow these hard drive-like features also render DVD-RAM media incompatible with most DVD-ROM drives and set-top video players. Single-sided (4.7GB) and double-sided (9.4GB) media are available in 2X and 3X recording speeds. Most DVD-RAM media are bare discs enclosed in a cartridge. DVD+R DL (Double Layer) DVD+R DL discs offer 8.5GBs of Storage Capacity on a Single-Sided Disc – No need to flip the disc! The industry’s first Dual Layer (called Double Layer by the +RW Alliance) media. These write-once discs have two recording layers, almost doubling the storage capacity on DVD discs from 4.7GB to 8.5GB on a single side while maintaining compatibility with most DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives. This is a recordable DVD9 format – the same as most Hollywood movie DVDs. A double layer compatible drive is required to burn DL media. Most current generation DVD burners available today are able to write to DVD+R DL media. With outstanding quality and consistent reliability of both recording layers, Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4X media has been approved for high speed burning of up to 6X speeds by almost all high speed Double Layer drive manufactures. Store up to 8.5GBs of video in as short as 16 minutes while maintaining compatibility with most DVD video players or DVD-ROM drives. Verbatim DVD+R DL Double Layer media maintains EXCELLENT play back compatibility with most DVD players. Approximate write time for 8.5GB Burn up to 10x speed with compatible high speed DVD+R DL drives. Speed 10x Save time with each Verbatim DL disc burned. 8x 6x 4x / 5x 2.4x 0 5 10 15 20 Minutes 25 30 35 40 DVD Mini DVD R DL Media Up until recently the most common mini recordable DVDs available were 1 1.4GB 4GB DVD DVD-R’s R’s and DVD DVD-RW’s; RW’s; both of which hold ~30 minutes of camcorder footage. Samsung and Sony offer a few camcorder models that support Mini DVD+R DL media. These newer media formats can capture nearly an hour’s worth of video camcorder footage. No need to flip the disc during recording, which is required when using double-sided Mini DVD media. Like the full size 12cm DVDR DL discs, these discs are fully compatible with the DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL standards and should be compatible with almost any DVD drive which can play full size DVDR DL discs, including many standalone DVD players. While existing +R and -R DL compatible DVD writers can write to this media, at this time no hardware upgrades are available to convert current camcorders to support this new format (mini DVD+/-R DL media). Verbatim offers the most extensive range of mini DVD media for you personal camcorder, DVD-R, -RW, +RW. Looking for that “personal” touch, our standard Mini DVD has a white inkjet printable surface. This surface is ideal for custom printing using a direct printing inkjet printer, adhering labels or simply using a felt tip marker. If that’s not enough, the Verbatim DigitalMovie™ Mini DVD combines the nostalgia of a movie reel with the latest video recording technology. Mini DigitalMovie eTM DVD discs can be played back on most home DVD players providing a reliable and cost effective format for video/data recording, distribution and storage. For added protection against the scratches and abrasion that can occur during normal camcorder and home use, all Verbatim Mini DVDR media features a proprietary Hard Coat applied to the recording surface making the disc 40 times more scratch resistant than a standard DVD.

Each disc is manufactured using proprietary unique dual reflective layer technology (DRL) to maximize both compatibility and longevity. Verbatim’s proprietary dual reflective technology is comprised of a silver layer for broad compatibility and a gold layer for long archival life. The highly reflective silver layer allows the UltraLife disc to look like a standard silver disc to CD/DVD burners. This feature provides a low initial error rate, important for long archival life, and the same drive read/write compatibility as standard silver-only discs. The gold reflective layer is naturally resistant to corrosion. The gold layer overlaps the silver layer and prevents oxygen from coming through the lacquer layer or edge of the disc and corroding the silver. Silver oxidation can be a primary factor which limits the lifetime of CD/DVD media. Features & Benefits • Proprietary dual reflective layer technology; ideal for long-term storage. • 24 ct. Gold layer maximizes disc lifetime by protecting data from corrosion. • Silver layer delivers high reflectivity and broad read/write compatibility. Write Compatible with Hardware Bearing: LightScribe / Blu-ray and HD DVD LightScribe LightScribe technology offers consumers and businesses a simple, no-hassle way to burn professional professional, silkscreen-quality labels on their CDs and DVDs DVDs. Using the same laser that burns data in their disc drives, customers burn their data as always, flip the disc over, re-insert it into the drive and burn a precise and permanent iridescent label. LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology requires three elements: 1. LightScribe-enabled optical disc drive (ODD) – The drive can be either built into your desktop or notebook PC or an external disc drive. 2. LightScribe-compatible media – Lightscribe CD/DVDs utilize a special coating applied to the disc surface that interacts with the laser of the LightScribe-enable disc drive. Consumers can readily identify LightScribecompatible media through the LightScribe logo, found on media packaging and in the lower hub of each disc. 3. LightScribe-supported software applications – In addition to a label-making software, you will need LightScribe System Software (This software may be included with your hardware, or it may need to be installed separately). With this software, you can create one-of-a-kind designs for your CDs and DVDs using your own photos, text, and artwork. Next Generation Storage Blue Laser – Blu-ray and HD DVD Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, Verbatim’s parent company is a member of the Blu-ray Discs Association and the HD DVD development technology group, which means that Verbatim has first hand access to the latest in Blu-ray and HD DVD technology. Blu-ray Blu-ray is the next-generation optical disc format, developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The recording layer of Blu-ray media is placed very close to the disc surface. These design features allow the capacity of a Blu-ray disc to be increased to 25GB (single layer) or 2 hours of HDTV. Because the data lies so close to the disc surface, Verbatim’s proprietary super hard coating is applied on top of the recording layer to protect important data from rough handling. HD DVD HD DVD (High-Density DVD) is a high capacity storage solution promoted by Toshiba. A user can record up to 15GB or 75 minutes of high-definition video on a single side. Each disc contains a recording AZO dye specifically designed for HD DVD which is highly sensitive to blue laser light, delivering three key advantages: superior compatibility, read stability, and long life. BD and HD DVD products can be used for data, audio, photo and video storage. Consumers will also benefit from other improvements over current DVD technology including enhanced menu navigation, increased capacity for bonus features and new interactive capabilities.
