The product, model-named DRD-8080B, transmits data at the speed
of 10,800Kbps, double that of ordinary 4x DVD ROM drives. Its
access time for DVD-ROMs averages 120 milliseconds and its access
time for CD ROMs are 90 milliseconds.”

It supports both Windows operating systems and Linux, and
features an auto-balancing device that prevents the vibration and
noise caused by high-speed rotations.

Randy Notes that “At current exchange rate of approx. 1120 won
per US dollar; it’s price is $129.00.”
