double layer storage technology and 16XDVD+/-R/RW
multi-functions


Taipei, Taiwan; December 29th, 2005 '“
ASUSTeK Computer Inc., a leading provider of
high-performance optical drives, today introduced the DRW-1608P2S-D
external X Multi DVD rewriter, which supports USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394
standards for easy connection and high-speed data transfers. It
provides versatile data storage at 16X DVD-R and 16X DVD+R as well
as 8X DVD+R (double Layer) and incorporated innovative technologies
to offer high-quality recording and reliable operation.

Supporting USB 2.0, the DRW-1608P2S-D is a notebook's perfect
companion. Bring the DRW-1608P2S-D on the road, plug it to the
notebook and immediately enjoy versatile optical storage capability.
The DRW-1608P2S-D also leveraged IEEE 1394 interface to enable fast
data transfer for digital video content.
The X Multi DRW-1608P2-D
is capable of reading data from and writing data on both DVD+R/RW
and DVD-R/RW formats. With the dual compatibility feature, the
DRW-1608P2S-D creates DVDs that can be played or read by most
DVD-ROM drives and DVD players, making it perfect for multimedia
data storage. The ASUS DRW-1608P2S-D supports the latest double
layer technology, which as the name suggests, doubles DVD+R media
from 4.7GB to 8.5 GB or four hours of DVD quality video without
flipping over the disc.


The X Multi DRW-1608P2S-D employed innovative
technologies to provide superior data storage.




FlextraLink™ - Makes sure No More Discs Go to
Waste

With innovative
technologies, the CD rewriter provides leading-edge data storage
capabilities. 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.


FlextraSpeed™ '“ Operate
at the Optimal Recording Speed

FlextraSpeedTM
continuously monitors the recording media and sets the optimal
writing speeds to ensure best recording quality. The results are
enhanced accuracy and reliability when reading/ writing/ re-writing
across a broad range of certified media in different formats. The
optimal operation speed also effectively lowers noise, prolongs
motor life and saves CPU resource.

DDSS II Technology '“ Operate with Exceptional
Stability
The DRW-1608P2S-D also features the patented
ASUS DDSS II (Double Dynamic Suspension System II) technology, which
minimizes the vibration caused by the spindle motors and resonance
between components as well as the drive and PC case. It stabilizes
the pick-up head, both horizontally and vertically, achieving more
precise tracking while reducing vibration and noise caused by
high-revolution motors. Airflow Field Modification (AFFM) is another
unique feature to reduce noise and vibration when using a high-speed
drive. AFFM is designed to change the uneven airflow field inside
the drive because even pressure distribution leads to quieter and
more stable operation.

LCT Technology '“ Precise
Pick-up Head Line Up on Uneven Discs
LCT (Liquid Crystal
Tilt) technology provides enhanced pick-up head line up accuracy
during recording and playback on disks with the uneven curvature and
surfaces of discs.All ASUS proprietary technologies occupy minimal
system resources, allowing the PC to remain fully operational and
available for other applications even during the recording process.
