What Affects System Performance
16 MB RAM 
Hard drive with at least 528 MB storage capacity (with a transfer rate 
of at least 800 kB/sec and disk access time of less than 20 msec)
110 MB free hard drive space for installing software
10 MB free hard drive space for each minute of music to be recorded
An available space on an IDE controller (ATA-2 or EIDE)
One available half-height drive bay (approximately 6” wide, 1.75” 
high, 8.5” deep /15 cm x 4.5 cm,  21.6 cm deep)
What Affects System Performance
How well your computer functions with the CD-Writer Plus drive, 
particularly how fast it writes data to a CD, depends on a number of 
factors. Some of these factors are listed below.
Processor (CPU). The type and speed of your processor greatly affects the 
speed at which your computer transfers data to and from the CD-Writer 
Plus drive. If the processor speed is too slow, you may have to write at 1x 
speed.
RAM. Your computer must have enough memory available to handle its 
operating system, the CD-Writer Plus applications, and the data you are 
transferring to and from CDs. The system should not have to swap data 
to and from the hard drive.
Your Hard Drive. The speed at which your hard drive accesses and 
transfers data (its access time and transfer rate) affects performance. 
Newer hard drives, those with a storage capacity greater than 528 MB, are 
fast enough to handle the CD-Writer Plus drive’s 2x write speed.
IDE Interface Type: CD-Writer Plus should be connected to the primary 
or secondary IDE controller. 
For optimal performance, run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on 
your hard drive before using your CD-Writer Plus drive for the first time 
(see your Windows manual for more information). Then run them 
periodically after that. These programs improve access times to the hard 
drive, which will help improve system performance while writing to and 
reading from the CD-Writer Plus drive.
