BenQ introduces a new series of stylish 52x CD-R media. The 52x CD-R Designer Collection gives the user freedom to choose a style that matches their digital recording.

The first three designs available in Europe from December 2003 will be “Studio Master” and “Platinum Record” (both reflecting the image of the music industry) and “Football”. More eye-catching designs will be introduced each season.

Manfred Wang, Director of BenQ’s Industrial Design: “We are always thinking about how to make our products more enjoyable… even a product as small as a CD-R.”

BenQ’s new 52x CD-R is more than just a pretty face. It features BenQ’s data protection system “DataGuard™”. This security system, developed in response to consumer needs, offers triple data protection: Golden Recording Layer, Strengthened Substrate, and Durable UV Lacquer and ensures security that protects the recorded data from heat, light, humidity and time. Under an accelerated aging test in the laboratory, it has been conclusively proved that DataGuard™ technology is able to preserve data for the equivalent of 100 years!
