ASUS Launches the World’s Fastest Internal CD-RW Drive
The CRW-5232AS delivers fastest 52X CD-Write/32X CD-ReWrite/52X CD-ROM
Taipei, Taiwan, October 27, 2003 -- ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), a worldwide leader of high-performance optical drives, today announced the ASUS CRW-5232AS, the only CD-RW drive on the market capable of delivering 52X write and 32X rewrite. With the increasing popularity of mini-barebones, the CRW-5232AS implemented a single-chip design that combined DSP & RF AMP and successfully reduced its size and weight, which should decrease shipment costs significantly.
The CRW-5232AS incorporated innovative technologies such as FlextraLink™, FlextraSpeed™, DDSS II and CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) writing strategy for a seamless fusion of flexibility, high-quality recording and reliable operation. FlextraLink™ prevents buffer underrun problems and eliminates the creation of unusable discs, while FlextraSpeed™ enhances accuracy and reliability when writing and rewriting across a broad range of certified media. Throughout the recording process, FlextraLink™ consistently keeps track of the data buffer status, whereas FlextraSpeed™ continously monitors the recording media and sets the most effective writing speed to ensure top-quality recording. Both ASUS proprietary technologies occupy minimal system resources, allowing the PC to remain fully operational and available for other applications even during the recording process.
The CRW-5232AS features the patented DDSS II technology, an enhanced follow-up of the first-generation Double Dynamic Suspension System. The DDSS technology is designed to minimize vibration and noise caused by high-revolution spindle motors. By stabilizing the pick-up head both horizontally and vertically, the CRW-5232SA enables more precise tracking for stable recording.
The ASUS CRW-5232AS utilizes CAV writing strategy to significantly shorten recording time and achieve higher average recording speed, compared to other high-speed CD-RW drives on the market.
The ASUS CRW-5232AS is now available for shipments and a black edition will be ready in the mid-November as well. For additional information about ASUS optical storage devices or other quality products, please visit the
