Benefits

Just Link Technology
JustLink™ technology overcomes many of the issues in 12x and higher writing speeds to CDs. Since the user's computer may be interrupted for other tasks, CD writing is often interrupted, and the CD write buffer depletes itself. JustLink™ technology can prevent under-runs by predicting when they may occur and then taking control of the writing process, intentionally interrupting the write cycle until the buffer refills and writing can resume exactly where it left off, hence the name JustLink™.

JustLink™ technology minimizes the write gap to only 2 microns.

High Speed
AOpen's CRW1232A CD/ReWriter drive offers unprecedented performance to handle today’s demands by reading CD's at up to 32X speed, writing CD/R disc at super 12X and CD/RW discs at 10X speed. CRW1232A writes a 650 MB disc in about 6 minutes.

High Versatility
The CRW1232A is an ideal all-in-one solution for reading CD's, copying audio/software CD's, creating photo/audio/video CD's, or acting as a storage drive for archiving or backup. The drive comes complete with everything you need to make CD's right away, including bundled software and blank CDs. You can write and read large data files as easily as you would from floppies.

High Reliability
An improved anti-heat design and the OPC design boost recording reliability. Optimum Power Control continually monitors signal levels during recording and adjusts laser power to compensate for a dirty disc. This feature ensures a flat signal, significantly enhancing reliability.

High Compatibility
The CRW1232A supports all major CD formats, offering the user full backward-compatibility through the huge installed base of CD/ROM drives and media. What’s more, reordered CD/RW media can be played in a DVD player, maintaining future compatibility.
