OPTIARC IS BACK! The Optiarc 5290S picks up where the Optiarc 5280S left off. Vinpower Digital became the exclusive global supplier of the original Optiarc series of drives. Once the 5280S model became EOL, there was no suitable replacement on the market. Recognizing the void in the market place, Vinpower revised the Optiarc product line and is now introducing the latest series of the 5200 series, the Optiarc AD-5290S line of Optical Disc Drives (ODD). The Optiarc AD-5290S-ROBOT models are compatible with all systems that formally used the Optiarc 5280 series of drives. The Optiarc 5290S-CB-ROBOT series will work as replacement drives for virtually all autoloaders and disc publishing systems, including older and new systems that are in operation today.
