Asus DRW-1608P DVD±RW Writer

ASUS, one of the biggest hardware manufacturers, released an internal 16X Dual Layer Recorder, the 1640P, breaking new ground with 4X DL writing and becoming one of the fastest DL recorders on the market. Not much has changed since then in the DL writing speed limit until today, when ASUS introduces us to its latest release, the 1608P drive, a 16±R and 6X DL recorder, breaking once again the DL writing speed limit.

Features / Specification:

• FlextraLink - Unusable discs are often caused by buffer under-run, which occurs when the system cannot keep up a steady data stream to the writer, causing "blank spots" on the disc. FlextraLink prevents this problem by marking the disc where writing stopped and resuming the operation at the same place, when information flow begins again.
• FlextraSpeed - FlextraSpeed intelligently adjusts writing speeds depending on the media. The best operating speed effectively lowers operation noise, prolongs motor life and saves CPU resources.
• DDSSII - DDSS II (Double Dynamic Suspension System II) is a patented anti-vibration technology. It stabilizes the pick-up head vertically and horizontally, achieving more precise tracking while reducing vibration and noise.
• Liquid Crystal Tilt - LCT (Liquid Crystal Tilt) technology provides enhanced pick up head accuracy during recording and playback on disks with uneven curvature and thickness.
• Write Format : DVD-R & DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R & DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, CD-R & CD-RW
• Interface : Enhanced IDE / ATAPI
• Buffer Memory - 2MB
• Mounting Orientation : Vertical/Horizontal
