FlextraSpeed™ Technology The ASUS FlextraSpeed™ technology provides the optimum solution to ensure quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The CRW-5232AS 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. ASUS CRW-5232AS 15
