ASUS CRW-5224A User’s Manual

Features

The ASUS CRW-5224Ais a CD-RW drive with 52X-write, 24X-rewrite, and

52X-read capabilities. The drive complies with theATAttachment Packet

Interface (ATAPI) specification and comes equipped with the latest

innovative technologies in CD recording.

Highlighting the major characteristic of ASUS CD-RW drives, the

CRW-5224A strategically identifies the media quality at the beginning of

the recording so that it can apply the appropriate writing speeds and

ensure effective data storage. Thanks to the FlextraSpeed™and

FlextraLink™technologies developed by ASUS.

FlextraSpeed™increases accuracy and reliability when rewriting across a

broad base of certified media, while FlextraLink™prevents buffer

underrrun problems to eliminate the creation of unusable discs. The

following sub-sections describe these technologies in detail.

FlextraSpeed™Technology

The ASUS FlextraSpeed™technology provides the optimum solution to

ensure quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The

CRW-5224A 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-R and CD-RW

discs. Due to these factors, some discs may not be able to stand the high-

speed capabilities of the latest CD-RW drives. The FlextraSpeed™

technology solves this problem by automatic assessment of the disc

quality and recording capability. The recording speed is based on these

factors. If you use a high quality recording disc, you can maximize the

recording capability of the drive and get the best quality output. If you use

a low quality disc, the drive speed adjusts to the level that is most

appropriate for the disc, still optimizing the disc recording capability.

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.
