It also has an 8x CD-R write speed and reads CDs at 24x. This Boa drive is perfect for backing up large amounts of data, transferring data from one computer to another, making DVD movie and audio CDs, copying CDs, and rewriting CDs or DVDs (using CD-RW or DVD-RW media). ``There is a high level of interest in the Boa DVD-RW/CD-RW drive,'' said Ebrahim Zmehrir, EZQuest president. ``The ability to burn up to 4.7GB in 30 minutes is really exciting. The DVD-RW format is the most widely accepted in the market. Users really like our sleek Pro-Mar packaging, and this drive gives them a lot of capability for a variety of applications.''
