Brand: Gradiente
The Gradiente CD-1 is an optical disc drive that was produced by the Brazilian computer manufacturer Gradiente in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was designed for use in personal computers and was compatible with CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory) discs, which provided a significantly higher storage capacity than traditional floppy disks.The Gradiente CD-1 had a maximum read speed of 200 kilobytes per second and it could read both single-session and multi-session CDs. It used Mitsumi mechanics and Philips electronics, which were commonly used components in CD drives at the time. This drive was an important step in making CD technology more accessible to the Brazilian market, as Gradiente was one of the leading computer manufacturers in the country.Overall, the Gradiente CD-1 helped to propagate the use of CDs for storing data and media in Brazil and contributed to the expansion of CD technology in the country's computer industry during the early 1990s.
