AD-5590A (P-ATA)

Multifaceted, powerful - and only 12.7 mm in height.


We’d like to present a great new unit with multiple read and write functions and the most compact form imaginable. The AD-5590A reads DVD-ROMs with up to 8x speed and CD-ROMs with up to an amazing 24x speed.

The AD-5590A will impress you just as thoroughly when writing, due to its excellent values in all formats. It writes to DVD-Rs, DVD+Rs and DVD+RWs at 8x speed ­ or DVD-RWs at 6x speed. And it handles DVD-R DL/DVD +R9 format disks just as comfortably (4x) as CDs in -R/-RW formats (24x).
