DVD-RAM (DVD–Random Access Memory) is a disc specification presented in 1996 by the DVD Forum. DVD-RAM media have been used in computers as well as camcorders and personal video recorders since 1998.
DVD-RAM Discs in cartridge are best for data backup because the actual discs are not handled by hand, freeing it from scratches, dirt and fingerprints due to handling. This DIGISTOR™ DVD-RAM drive inside will accept cartridges in both 4.7GB and 9.4GB capacity.
