MSI introduced its new external 52x32x52x CD-RW drive -- CRE52-M. The new CRE52-M CD-burner comes complete with Nero 5 burning software for fast and easy CD creation.

With performance of 52x32x52x (Maximum Write / Rewrite / Read), MSI's new external CD-RW drive can burn a 60-minute CD in less than three minutes. Buffer under-run protection enables users to "burn and work," running other applications while making a CD with less risk of failed burns. Hot plug-and-play capability with Microsoft® Windows® operating system makes system installation a breeze. And Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) capability enables full performance with suitably equipped computers, while maintaining full backwards compatibility (At Reduced Speed) with original USB systems, peripherals, and cables.

The CRE52-M features ABS (Anti-Bumping System) and Softburn™ technology to reduce vibration and noise and to provide superior stability when the drive is operating at high speed. HyperGuard™ is another useful feature, which provides better shatter protection for your drive from a defect disc.

The CRE52-M features SuperLink™ technology, which prevents errors from occurring when data flow to the drive is interrupted during the recording process due to slow source-drive performance, PC configuration problems, or when running other applications. The ability of a CD-RW drive to read different types of compact discs varies based on the qualities of the discs and the type of data written to the discs. The SuperLink™ technology is utilized to take full advantage of the latest, high performance CD-R/CD-RW media to optimize record speed and reliability.

The drive now even supports 99 or 90 minute CD's. This is extremely useful if you need to burn something that's a bit larger then 700 MB or longer then 80 minutes in audio!

In order to satisfy both novices and experienced users, the CRE52-M CD-RW drive includes the well-known Nero 5 CD Recording software, which supports just about every feature you could want in a CD-burning suite.
