Optical Quantum discs were created with high volume duplication in mind

OQ discs for high volume dupe

If you’re in the duplication market, then you know the value of recordable optical discs that have minimal fallout rate. Not only is there a cost in terms of discarded discs, but when you get failures during production, it’s a waste of time too, which is often more valuable. When you see high fallout rates with cut-rate recordable optical discs, then you have to often stop production and try to determine when the problem is with the media or the equipment. With Optical Quantum, there’s never a doubt about the quality and reliability. So you don’t waste money or time during production, which increases your bottom line and makes everyone happy.

The first commercially available CD was issued 40 years ago in 1982

CD turns 40

When you think of all the changes in technology that’s taken place in the past 100 years, it’s staggering to think how far we’ve come, for better or worse. Depending on your age, will mark what advances had the most impact on you and what we’re nostalgic about. This came about when my wife and I were talking to our kids about what life was like when we were kids and what were staples then that my kids today know nothing about, like rotary phones, TV’s with knobs, daily newspapers, etc. As technology evolves, some products also evolve or get phased out entirely.

One item that hasn’t changes and may be up for debate whether it’s been phased out or not is the Compact Disc (CD). Even though it’s not as prevalent as it was, I still order CD’s and take my kids to those remaining record stores to buy new music. In fact, it was 40 years ago that the 1st commercial CD was made available in Japan. Billy Joel’s 1982 release of “52nd St” making history as the very first album available on CD. It would still take another year or so before the format caught on, but when it did, it was like lightning in a bottle. The superior digital sound was a hit and consumers were excited to replace their entire music library with CD’s. Vinyl and cassette tapes were ultimately phased out in favor of the CD.

Ultimately, vinyl and to some extent cassettes have made comebacks in the last 5 years for nostalgic purposes due to the unique sound quality and retro cool factor. Yet, the CD still remains and even in middle age, holding its own as the newer digital streaming and MP3’s dominate the music scene. Even though my kids are not as familiar with CD’s as they are with Spotify or other streaming services, they still recognize the value of owning music on a CD that they will always have available to them as the streaming services come and go.

If you want to make sure you always have your favorite music available when you want it, use Vinpower’s OPTODISC line of CD-R’s to keep backup copies. OPTODISC is proven to offer superior sound quality and longevity compared to the competition, so you won’t have to worry about premature degradation.

The iXflash Cube allows you to backup and share all your vacation photos and videos effortlessly!

iXflash cube backup vaca

When you travel for vacation, most people typically want to memorialize the trip with photos and videos along the way. That was the case for my family as we traveled out of town and took lots of pictures and videos with my iPhone. Since I’m a huge advocate for backing up those irreplaceable memories, I like to download a copy of that content to store on an external source, in my case, 2 separate external hard drives that I store in separate locations. You can never be too careful and I’d be very upset if I every lost those files.

With that said, the iXflash Cube makes it so incredibly easy and convenient to back up those images and transfer them to another source or to share with friends and family members. Each day or night, I simply connect my iPhone to a regular charging cable with the iXflash Cube connected and not only is my iPhone recharged, but within minutes, all my pictures and videos are backed up. I didn’t need to do anything extra, it’s automatic. This is especially helpful with the large video files that are too big to email and too much of a hassle to upload from iTunes. Using the iXflash Cube is no different than not using it, there are no extra steps, so you almost forget you’re even using it. Every time you charge your iPhone with the same cable that’s connected to the iXflash Cube, your images and videos are securely transferred to the iXflash Cube, then you use the USB connection to easily download those files to whomever or wherever you want.
