The development of two revolutionary technologies -- Advanced Super Eutectic Recording Layer (Advanced-SERL(TM)) and a new recording method -- paved the way for Verbatim to become the first and only manufacturer currently capable of providing Ultra Speed + 32x CD-RW media. The new write method and Advanced SERL, a patented recording layer technology, were both developed by Verbatim's parent company, Mitsubishi® Chemical Corporation (MCC).

Advanced-SERL technology, which was originally developed for Verbatim's DataLifePlus 24x Ultra Speed CD-RW media, ensures high reliability and durability at 32x write speed. It also overcomes the difficulties in CD-RW re-writing to ensure sufficient erasability at high speeds, reduction of media noise during erase/rewrite cycles, and a long archival life.

To achieve the industry's highest re-write speed, Verbatim's premium-quality 32x CD-RW discs incorporate a new writing method called the 2T Writing Strategy, which was also originally developed for Verbatim's 24x CD-RW media. The new writing method was required because at 24x and 32x recording speeds, conventional recording technology cannot generate enough "cooling time" for creating stable amorphous marks. Verbatim's 2T Writing Strategy overcomes this issue to provide stability of the recorded mark as well as supporting quality high-speed erasure.
