FlextraSpeed™ Technology The ASUS FlextraSpeed™ technology provides the optimum solution to ensure quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The CRW-5232AS drive employs this technology that allows automatic recording speed adjustment based on the recording media. In addition to the fact that there are low and high quality recording media, various other factors such as dye layer, temperature, humidity, dust, fingerprints, etc., affect the recording characteristics of CD

The FlextraSpeed™ technology also helps maintain the CD-RW drive because of the controlled motor rotation speeds and reduced noise caused by spindle air, thus prolonging the drive motor’s life and ensuring high-quality recording. FlextraLink™ Technology The ASUS FlextraLink™ technology provides a seamless combination of flexibility and ultra-reliable recording quality. FlextraLink™ incorporates a flexible strategy that prevents buffer underrun problems caused by an empty data buffer. This CD-RW

Double Dynamic Suspension System (DDSS II) The DDSS II is an enhanced follow up to the DDSS anti-vibration system developed by ASUS. The DDSS technology is designed to reduce the vibration generated from spindle rotation of over 8900 rpm of CD-RW drives. The DDSS II improves this feature by handling up to over 10,000 rpm of the new CD-RW drives. In addition, the DDSS II stabilizes the pick-up head of the drive in both horizontal and vertical directions, making tracking and focusing even more p

Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) Recording Technology The CRW-5232AS drive employs the Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) recording method. With CAV recording, the drive spindle motor rotates the disc at the same speed regardless of the radial position of the pickup head. This means that there is a higher transfer rate when writing data to the outer tracks of the disc than to the inner tracks, as the head traverses a longer linear path on the outer than the inner part of the disc. Although the trans
