Recording Methods
The 1600L i.LINK drive has the capability to use several different
recording methods. The descriptions of these methods in this manual
are overviews of the subject. The methods are covered in greater detail
in the software documentation.
• Disc at Once: this is a recording method in which the entire disc is
written in a single pass. Data cannot be added at a later time.
• Session at Once: a complete session is written in a single pass (one at
a time).
• Track at Once: a track can be copied to the disc incrementally (one
at a time).
• Multi-session: several sessions can be written to a disc. Each session
has at least one track.
• Variable and fixed packet recording: typically used by back-up
software and Drive Letter Access software to add files and folders at
a time, instead of tracks/sessions at a time.
Applications
CD-R and CD-RW discs are each ideal for slightly different
applications. Both can be recorded with the 1600L CD-ReWritable
recorder. CD-R discs can’t be erased, but are compatible with standard
CD-ROM drives and CD players. CD-RW discs can be erased and re-
written, but have some inter-change limitations. Here are some typical
applications for both discs:

Back-up Archiving
CD Personal
