Sony launches Worlds' first 24x DVD burner

Sony – A leader in Optical storage device segment launches AD-7240S, a new high-end DVD burner. The DVD Re-Writable AD-7240S from Sony is the world's first DVD burner to achieve a 24x burning rate. This speed miracle is extremely reliable, thanks to Auto Strategy Technology and it is also capable of meeting demanding everyday requirements.

The AD-7240S' Auto Strategy Technology, which was first seen in the predecessor seriesAD-7200, ensures excellent burning quality. When you burn a DVD, the drive always reads a section of the media in advance so that the writing head can be optimally adjusted.
