Adaptec DirectCD 3.0 Delivers Increased Capacity, Performance & Longer Disc Life
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1999--The latest version of DirectCD, Adaptec's software product that makes a CD-R/RW drive as easy to use as a floppy drive, now offers compression for CD-RW, improved Universal Disc Format (UDF) Reader support, and enhanced ScanDisc capability.

"As CD-R/RW technology surges in popularity, our customers are calling for greater capacities and greater sophistication of features along with increased ease-of-use," said Tom Shea, general manager for the software products group at Adaptec. "Version 3.0 will only add to CD-R/RW's stature as the leading choice for removable storage."

With compression, CD-RW discs can now hold up to twice as much data. In addition, discs last longer because compressed files take up less space, so the disc is re-written less often, resulting in less wear.

Improved support for UDF means that when users format a disc using DirectCD 3.0, the UDF Reader installer is placed on that disc. This makes installation of the UDF reader to a PC automatic. In turn, this allows CD-RW discs to be readable on PCs with MultiRead CD-ROM drives, without the need for the user to manually install a UDF reader.

Improvements to DirectCD 3.0's ScanDisc, a data recovery utility, include support for CD-RW, in addition to the previously supported CD-R media.

Availability

Adaptec's DirectCD 3.0 will be available to drive manufacturers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in September 1999.
