For industry standard, high-capacity rewritable optical storage, look no further than Toshiba's SD-W2002 DVD-RAM drive. With 4.7GB of capacity on a single-sided disc and 9.4GB on a dual-sided disc, the SD-W2002 provides unprecedented performance to benefit a range of applications including multimedia development, backup and data archiving. The SD-W2002 DVD-RAM drive conforms to all DVD industry standards to ensure media interchangeability with other DVD-RAM drives.


What is DVD-RAM?
DVD-RAM provides the largest, most durable rewriteable DVD storage format. The Toshiba SD-W2002 will record to single and double sided DVD-RAM discs providing up to 4.7GB of storage per side (twice the storage of other formats, up to 9.4GB per disc).  Plus, DVD-RAM discs can be written to over 100,000 times and data written to the discs has a predicted life of 30 years.  These two features make DVD-RAM a superior format for archiving high resolution artwork, scanned photographs, digital music collections and for backing up computer data.

Have you been using Zip or Jaz drives to archive your digital imaging files?  The SD-W2002 quickly writes files to ultra-reliable DVD-RAM media having a much larger capacity.  Imagine storing 80 - 50MB high resolution scanned art photographs on a single removable disc!   Plus, with it's quick random access, you can do modifications and editing on the fly - just like a hard disk!

 Removable Multi Gigabyte Storage
  A 9.4GB DVD-RAM disc allows you to store:
  • 8,000 full-color digital pictures
  • 800,000 documents (10KB/each file)
  • 8 hours (compressed) of MPEG2 video (2.4Mbps equivalent) 
  • The equivalent of 14 CDs

DVD-RAM media is available in two cartridge types (Type 1 and Type 2).  The Toshiba SD-W2002 can read and write to both types.  A brief explanation of the different DVD-RAM media types supported by the Toshiba SD-W2002 DVD-RAM drive follows:

  • Type 1 DVD-RAM Media - Double Sided disc mounted permanently in a protective cartridge.
  • Type 2 DVD-RAM Media - Single Sided disc in a protective cartridge, but the disc can be removed from the cartridge for playback in DVD-ROM drives that have DVD-RAM playback capability.

CD-ROM and DVD-ROM
Boasting a 24X CD-ROM read speed, the SD-W2002 also reads CD-R, CD-RW and Audio CD formats, so you can use it to replace your computers existing CD-ROM drive.  Additionally the drive reads DVD-ROM discs at 5X speeds.
