Features of the CRW3200UX Drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW3200UX drive supp orts up to 24X - sp e e d writing for C D-R discs, and
up to 10X-speed wr iting/rewriting for C D-RW discs. In addition, th e drive
supports data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.

Tip

• The Partial CAV method permits 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs.

• The CLV method and the 4X – 10X Full CAV method permit 10X-speed writing/

rewriting for CD-RW discs.

USB interface (USB 2.0)

The CRW3 200 UX drive uses USB 2.0 that provides high-speed data transfer
capability (max. speed 4 8 0 Mbps/sec.). The transfer sp e ed is about 40 times
faster than the USB 1.1.
In addition, th e CRW3200UX drive s u pports the hot plu g function that e na bles
you to connect/discon ne ct the drive while comput e r is tur ned on.

SafeBurn™ (Enhanced stability writing tech nology)

The generous 8 MB buffer memory provides sufficient data storage to enable
stable disc writing at high speeds. Even if data transfer from the comp u te r is
interrupte d, the Buffer Underrun Pr ote ction function is a c tiv a ted to save CD-R
discs from a writing error. (P. 34)
“Optimum Write Speed Con tr o l” adjusts the writing speed to th e o ptimum rate
for every CD-R disc au to matically. Yo u can set the ma ximum wr iting speed
with you r CD writing software.

Note

•“Optimum Write Speed Control” can be activated when the maximum writing
speed is set at 12X or more.

• The minimum writing speed to be automaticall y sel ecte d is 8X. Manu all y set the
optimum writing speed if a writing speed supported by a disc is less than 8X.

High fidelity digital audio

The CRW3200UX drive supports extractio n o f digital audio da ta at up to 40X
speed usin g CD writing software, as w e ll as recording d ig ita l a u dio with high
fidelity even at 24X-speed writing.
