FlextraSpeed™ Technology
The ASUS FlextraSpeed™ technology provides the optimum solution to ensure
quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The CRW-5232AS
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.
