Artronix Technology, Inc. (Artec) is the U.S.-based organization for Taiwanese corporation Ultima Electronics, established in 1983. Known mostly for their scanners, Artec recently started expansion into CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM drives.

How does it compare to the firmly established competition? Before we find out, let's take a look at the specifications.
