The FlextraSpeed technology also helps maintain the CD-RW drive because of
the controlled motor rotation speeds and reduced noise caused by spindle air, thus
prolonging the drive motors life and ensuring high-quality recording.
FlextraLink Technology
The ASUS FlextraLink technology provides a seamless combination of flexibility and
ultra-reliable recording quality.
FlextraLink incorporates a flexible strategy that prevents buffer underrun problems
caused by an empty data buffer. This CD-RW drive technology allows continuous
monitoring of the data buffer status during the write process. Once the available data
drops to approximately 1% of the total buffer capacity, the drive stops recording and
marks the last write position. When new data is received from the host, it is loaded to
the data buffer, and the laser is repositioned to link the new data with the data already
written. FlextraLink uses minimal system resources so that your PC remains fully
operational throughout the writing process, and available for other applications.
The diagram on the following page shows the advantage of the FlextraLink
recording technology.
