Introduction:::…
These
days the demand for larger storage mediums is bigger then
ever. You
can choose from many different forms of storage, each having
its own advantage or disadvantage.
In
this review I have chosen to opt for optical storage, DVD+
media to be more precise.
Ritek
Corporation in Taiwan is a major manufacturer of optical
storage media and was founded in 1988. They
supply large OEM companies like Philips, TDK, FUIJ and Traxdata.
In
2001 Traxdata was taken over by Ritek and they now use that
name to sell their own optical storage products.
Conrexx
Europe was founded in that same year as a European headquarters
and place of business for Ritek, and I think it's fair to
say that Traxdata has undergone a real metamorphosis since
the take over by Ritek.
Under
the new devision's marketing strategy, every new optical
storage technology breakthrough will first be marketed under
the Traxdata name. Thus Traxdata
was the first to market the 8x media (+ and – media), and
also the first to market both the 16x DVD+R media and the
DVD+R DL media.
Also
the color schemes of the packages have undergone some changes.
Conrexx
Europe was so kind to provide us with DVD+R, DVD+RW and
DVD+R DL media.
