Strengths: Ease of Installation and software included
Weaknesses: I haven't found any
Overall: This DVD-R Quad Cruiser not only supports writing to DVD-R media, but does it at 4x. I can now burn a complete 4.7GB DVD disc in about 15 minutes! It will also burn to DVD-RW discs at 2x. The Alera DVD-R Quad Cruiser is an external drive which can easily be connected to any computer without the need for complex installations or opening the computer's housing. Like its predecessor, the drive is equiped with Alera's versatile A-Connect technology. This means that you can choose from a variety of connection options to fit your system's needs. The drive comes with a High Speed USB (USB 2.0) connection kit by default. Optionally, you may connect the PCMCIA, Firewire or Firewire for Macintosh (comes with Charismac Discribe software) cable kits. I'm very impressed to see that Alera - again - has put many efforts in offering a DVD-R drive/software combination that really stands-out of the crowd. When you buy this drive, you not only get top-notch technology (the fastest DVD recording solution around, packed in a slick-looking, easy to connect external casing), but also a perfectly integrated, best-of-class software suite that offers all of the features a videographer, or a demanding home-user will ever need for his or her DVD creation needs.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
