ASUS CRW-2410S User's Manual 9 Features The ASUS CRW-2410S is a CD-RW drive with 24X-write, 10X- rewrite, and 40X-read capabilities. The drive complies with the AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) specification and comes equipped with a host of the latest innovative technologies in CD recording. BURN-Proof Technology The BURN-Proof technology, which stands for Buffer Under RuN Proof, prevents the buffer underrun error caused by an empty data buffer. It does so by means of a controller that continuously monitors the status of the data buffer throughout the write process. If the available data drops below 10% of the total buffer capacity, the controller initiates a controlled interrupt to the writing process and sets a write marker. New data is then loaded to the cache, and the laser is repositioned. The drive synchronizes the data already written with the new data in the buffer, and repositions the laser behind the sector most recently written. This technology also ensures that your PC remains fully operational throughout the writing process, and available for other applications. Zone CLV Recording Technology The Zone Constant Linear Velocity (CLV) recording method allows you to achieve a higher recording speed by using a different speed for each of the three zones partitioned from the inner to the outer area in a disc.
