OPTIARC IS BACK! Originally developed and distributed by SONY, the Optiarc 5290S picks up where the Optiarc 5280S left off. Vinpower Digital, with the support of SONY, 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).
