The ASUS CRW-4816A delivers cutting edge CD-RW performance with innovative CAV (constant angular velocity) and P-CAV (partial constant angular velocity) writing strategies. The result is ultimate reliability and performance for music compilation, data backups and smooth audio playback. And of course, ASUS patented technologies such as FlextraLink™, FlextraSpeed™, DDSS II and AI auto-speed adjustment are also available in this top-quality optical drive to allow 16X/48X re/writing speeds.

The ASUS CRW-4816A employs innovative technologies to provide cutting-edge data storage capabilities. FlextraLink™ prevents buffer underrun problems and eliminates the creation of unusable discs, while FlextraSpeed™ enhances accuracy and reliability when writing/re-writing across a broad range of certified media. Throughout the recording process, FlextraLink™ consistently monitors the data buffer status, whereas FlextraSpeed™ continuosly tracks the recording media and sets the optimal writing speeds to ensure the best recording quality. Both the ASUS proprietary technologies occupy minimal system resources, allowing the PC to remain fully operational and available for other applications during recording.
