FlextraSpeed

,

FlextraLink

, and P-CAV (Partial Constant Angular Velocity).

The following sections describe these technologies in detail.

The ASUS 

FlextraSpeed

™ technology provides the optimum solution to

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