ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS) announced the ASUS CRW-5232AS, a new
CD-RW drive capable of delivering 52X write and 32X rewrite. The
CRW-5232AS implemented a single-chip design that combined DSP &
RF AMP and reduced its size and weight, which should decrease
shipment costs significantly.
The CRW-5232AS incorporated technologies such as FlextraLink™,
FlextraSpeed™, DDSS II and CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)
writing strategy for a seamless fusion of flexibility,
high-quality recording and reliable operation. 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 sets
the most effective writing speed to ensure top-quality recording.
The CRW-5232AS features the patented DDSS II technology, an
enhanced follow-up of the first-generation Double Dynamic
Suspension System. The DDSS technology is designed to minimize
vibration and noise caused by high-revolution spindle motors. By
stabilizing the pick-up head both horizontally and vertically,
the CRW-5232SA enables more precise tracking for stable
recording.
The ASUS CRW-5232AS utilizes CAV writing strategy to
significantly shorten recording time and achieve higher average
recording speed.
The ASUS CRW-5232AS is now available for shipments and a black
edition will be ready in the mid-November as well. For additional
