The Optiarc AD-5290S-ROBOT models are compatible with all systems that formally used the Optiarc 5280S-CB ROBOT series of drives.  The Optiarc AD-5290S-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.

The Optiarc AD-5290S-ROBOT drive picks up where the 5280S-CB series left off, offering the following market leading functionality:

• Secure Media Speed Stability - Ensures that media duplication speed does not exceed encoded maximum rates to provide better burning control and virtually eliminates bad burns.
• Enhanced Recording Stabilization Control - Ensures all drives in a single duplication environment burn uniformly to avoid disproportionate speed fluctuations, which lead either to failed discs or less compatible completed discs.
• Stable Recording Control - The drives have an extensive database of media specs and are better able to communicate and convey these details while burning the disc(s) at ultimate speed.

• Stable burning throughout - Provides consistent and reliable burning of any file type for the duration of the duplication progress to ensure the recorded media has far greater reliability of playback or that the discs will successfully copy to begin with.
• Enhanced Compatibility for DVD+R media-Ensuring greater compatibility with DVD Players
• Enhanced CD-R Duplication - Limits potential distortion in CD-R audio duplication
• Enhanced Compatibility for CD+G media - Ensuring greater compatibility with Karaoke players
• Supports 99 minute CD-R - Allows CD-R media to be over-burned effectively to 99 minutes
• Archival Capability - Works with wide array of specialty archival media for greater longevity on stored content

• M-Disc Capability - Able to write to the exclusive M-Disc Archival Media which is able to store digital content without data loss for up to 1,000 years

• Built using sturdier components - Compared to alternative drives, this model was built using the true Japanese design and parts lists for a stronger and more reliable system.
• Less Wear and Tear - since there are fewer bad burns, the system is able to complete its jobs in less burns meaning a prolonged life for the drives themselves due to less use
• Industrial tray gears & pulleys - provides a more stable disc loading tray for a longer life cycle (1 cycle equals 1 tray extend from and then return into the drive)
• Enhanced Error Reporting - Provides greater details as to the cause of any potential duplication failure during the Lead-In

• Accurate Tray Extension - Provides reliable consistent tray extension for Robotic Duplication System
• Backwards Compatible – Able to work within autoloaders and publishing systems that formerly used the Optiarc 5280 series.
