A press release on Yahoo reports that Yamaha is bringing us two new members of its award-winning Lighspeed family of CD recorders; the CRW2200FXZ (FireWire) and the CRW2200UXZ (USB 2.0)
These two burners can write at a maximum speed of 20x making them the fastest available external CD-RW drives. The drives write using P-CAV and have Yamaha's SafeBurn technology to prevent buffer underruns.
In addition to using conventional CLV recording at 2X, 4X, 8X, and 10X in rewriting mode, both the CRW2200FXZ and CRW2200UXZ also support the 4X-10X CAV mode. This permits high-speed random writing or reading of data and realizes floppy disk-like ease of operation using packet writing. |
The new models also features the Yamaha SafeBurn(TM) System with its exclusive Triple Protection Architecture(TM). SafeBurn provides an advanced buffer underrun control system, a large 8MB buffer, and Yamaha's Optimum Write SpeedControl(TM). By monitoring a disc's capability and recording conditions, the recorder can automatically select the optimum writing speed.
SafeBurn will suspend recording if data transfer is delayed or buffer memory drops below a critical level. Once the buffer has regained sufficient memory, recording will restart seamlessly from the point at which it was suspended. LightSpeed(2) recorders are equipped with an 8MB buffer memory -- four times larger than that of its competitors -- to ensure stable and efficient recording.
