Double Layer Technology and Double Dynamic Suspension System Provide Superior Solution for Increased Data
Storage Capacity and Quiet Operation
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), a leading provider of
high-performance optical storage devices, today announced the
DRW-1608P2S, the industry's superior DVD rewriter that supports 5X
DVD-RAM write, 16X DVD+/-R/RW and 8X DVD+/-R double layer media source.
With the popularity of digital multimedia entertainment on the rise,
the demand for higher data storage quality and capacity to accommodate
video and audio data is also increasing. The ASUS DRW-1608P2S supports
the latest double layer technology, which almost doubles the DVD+R
storage capacity from 4.7GB to 8.5GB, providing up to four hours of DVD
quality video archive ability. In addition, with the new double layer
technology, full storage capacity can be achieved on one side of a
single disc without the need to turn over.
Flexibility for the wide array of media formats is also very
important. The ASUS DRW-1608P2S offers both 16X DVD-Write and 16X
DVD+Write, making it capable of reading from and writing on DVD-Write/
Rewrite and DVD+Write/ Rewrite formats. With dual-format adopting
features, the DRW-1608P2S creates DVDs that can be played and read by
most DVD-ROM drives and DVD players. It also enables 5X DVD-RAM, 6X
DVD-Rewrite, 8X DVD+Rewrite, 16X DVD-ROM, 40X CD-R, 32X CD-RW and 40X
CD-ROM providing flexible and high-speed operation.
The ASUS DRW-1608P2S also adopted several innovative technologies found only in ASUS optical drives, including:
FlextraLink - Makes sure No More Discs Go to Waste
With innovative technologies, the CD rewriter provides leading-edge data storage capabilities. FlextraLink prevents buffer underrun problems and eliminates the creation of unusable discs , while FlextraSpeed enhances
accuracy and reliability when writing and rewriting across a broad
range of certified media. Throughout the recording process, FlextraLink consistently keeps track of the data buffer status, whereas FlextraSpeed continously
monitors the recording media and set s the most effective writing speed
to ensure top-quality recording. Both ASUS proprietary technologies
occupy minimal system resources, allowing the PC to remain fully
operational and available for other applications even during the
recording process.
FlextraSpeed – Operate at the Optimal Recording Speed
FlextraSpeed TM continuously monitors the recording media and sets
the optimal writing speeds to ensure best recording quality. The
results are enhanced accuracy and reliability when reading/ writing/
re-writing across a broad range of certified media in different
formats. The optimal operation speed also effectively lowers noise,
prolongs motor life and saves CPU resource.
DDSS II Technology – Operate with Exceptional Stability
The DRW-1608P2S also features the patented ASUS DDSS II (Double
Dynamic Suspension System II) technology, which minimizes the vibration
caused by the spindle motors and resonance between components as well
as the drive and PC case. It stabilizes the pick-up head, both
horizontally and vertically, achieving more precise tracking while
reducing vibration and noise caused by high-revolution motors. Airflow
Field Modification (AFFM) is another unique feature to reduce noise and
vibration when using a high-speed drive. AFFM is designed to change the
uneven airflow field inside the drive because even pressure
distribution leads to quieter and more stable operation.
LCT Technology – Precise Pick-up Head Line Up on Uneven Discs
LCT (Liquid Crystal Tilt) technology provides enhanced pick-up head
line up accuracy during recording and playback on disks with the uneven
curvature and surfaces of discs.All ASUS proprietary technologies
occupy minimal system resources, allowing the PC to remain fully
operational and available for other applications even during the
recording process.
