the new Roland CD-Rack. I profess, I had one look at one of these digital studio storage racks featuring a 12X/4X/32X CD writer with a SCSI-2 interface and immediately got into how ideal this 1U rack unit is for anyone in digital audio. So much storage possibility in one rack space? You bet, because there’s an open drive bay aside from the included CD-RW that’s ideal for a hard drive, ZIP, or whatever storage type you like that comes in the 5.25″ size. We’ve got plenty of those here – a Sales Engineer could easily pique your interest. The included CD writer (160ms average access time; large 4MB buffer) is single- and multi-session compatible, as well as having the capability to write Photo CDs. The CD-Rack comes with Adaptec’s Toast and audio CD extraction software for Mac; EZ CD Creator and Direct-CD on the PC side. I fully expect the CD-Racks to fly out of the warehouse faster than one of my co-workers with an arm full of employee purchases (those being one of the many cool perks to working here, of course; you should see how fast the gear leaves the building in the hands of an audio nerd), so get the whole story with one simple phone call!
Speaking of Toast, EZ CD Creator, et al, Adaptec has spun the software side of their operations into a new entity known as Roxio. This is still Adaptec in spirit, no worries, but we’re just putting the info out there so’s nobody gets confused: www.roxio.com… Chad sez check it out! (Thanks to Sales Engineer Bill Thompson for that little bit of news).
