*Users should be aware these drives do not perform as well as hard drives. Test results with the NIKON Beluga drive with 1K/sector media show 8 tracks of record and playback in 16- or 24-bit TapeMode is generally reliable. Non-destructive mode performance is less reliable, especially with heavy edit density.

DVD RAM Support

The MMR/MMP will support SCSI backup and export to DVD RAM disks as of software version 3.1, scheduled for release in February 1999. Testing so far indicates that these drives are several times slower than Magneto-Optical disks for recording and transfers. Playback of a limited number of tracks is possible from a DVD RAM disk, but maximum performance seen to date is 6 channels of 16-bit material in TapeMode.
