POWER-BURN
POWER-BURN is a new technology that automatically prevents buffer under-run errors
by predicting them before they happen. This Combo drive features POWER-BURN
technology to enable stable writing in the following situations where buffer under-run
errors may otherwise occur in a conventional drive.
With high-speed writing,
When some other operation is being performed on the computer during writing,
When writing CD-R/CD-RW from a CD-ROM drive,
When writing directly via network.
High Reliability
An improved anti-heat design and the OPC design boost recording reliability. Optimum
Power Control continually monitors signal levels during recording and adjusts laser
power to compensate for a dirty disc. This feature ensures a flat signal, significantly
enhancing reliability.
High Compatibility
The Combo drive supports all major CD formats, offering full backward-compatibility
through the huge installed base of CD/ROM drives and media. What's more, reordered
CD/RW media can be played in a DVD player with multi-read feature, maintaining future
compatibility.
