ASUS SCB-1608-D User’s Manual

Features

The ASUS SCB-1608-D is an External Slim CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive with

16x CD-Write, 10x CD-ReWrite, 24x CD-Read and 8x DVD-Read

capabilities. The drive complies with the Universal Serial Bus 2.0

(USB 2.0) and IEEE 1394 specifications and comes equipped with the

latest innovative technologies in CD recording.

ASUS External Slim CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives are accentuated by the

latest innovations in CD-recording technology, namely:

FlextraSpeed

FlextraLink

, and the P-CAV (Partial Constant Angular Velocity).

The following sub-sections describe these technologies in detail.

FlextraSpeed™ Technology

The ASUS

FlextraSpeed

™ technology provides the optimum solution to

ensure quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The

SCB-1608-D drive employs this technology that allows automatic

recording speed adjustment based on the recording media.

In addition to the fact that there are low and high quality recording media,

various other factors such as dye layer, temperature, humidity, dust,

fingerprints, etc., affect the recording characteristics of CD-R and CD-RW

discs. Due to these factors, some discs may not be able to stand the high-

speed capabilities of the latest CD-RW drives. The

FlextraSpeed

™

technology solves this problem by automatic assessment of the disc

quality and recording capability. The recording speed is based on these

factors. If you use a high quality recording disc, you can maximize the

recording capability of the drive and get the best quality output. If you use

a low quality disc, the drive speed adjusts to the level that is most

appropriate for the disc, still optimizing the disc recording capability.

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 motor’s life and ensuring

high-quality recording.
