Features of the CRW3200UX Drive

High speed writing/reading
The CRW3200UX drive supports up to 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs, and
up to 10X-speed writing/rewriting for CD-RW discs. In addition, the 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 CRW3200UX drive uses USB 2.0 that provides high-speed data transfer
capability (max. speed 480 Mbps/sec.). The transfer speed is about 40 times
faster than the USB 1.1.
In addition, the CRW3200UX drive supports the hotplug function that enables
you to connect/disconnect the drive while computer is turned on.
SafeBurn™ (Enhanced stability writing technology)
The generous 8 MB buffer memory provides sufficient data storage to enable
stable disc writing at high speeds. Even if data transfer from the computer is
interrupted, the Buffer Underrun Protection function is activated to save CD-R
discs from a writing error. (P. 34)
"Optimum Write Speed Control" adjusts the writing speed to the optimum rate
for every CD-R disc automatically. You can set the maximum writing speed
with your 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 automatically selected is 8X. Manually 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 extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X
speed using CD writing software, as well as recording digital audio with high
fidelity even at 24X-speed writing.
