Although DVD burning technology has progressed to 16X, the supply of disc media supporting this new high-speed standard remains low. Even if you are one of the lucky few that is in possession of these expensive discs, you still have to worry about burning reliability unless you want a stack of overpriced coasters. This is why ASUS, a leading provider of 3C total solutions, is introducing an innovative feature called “Over-Speed Burning” to enable users to enjoy fast 16X burning with 8X discs, which are more readily available and more affordable. It’s a cost-effective way to shorten burning time.
Over-Speed Burning also supports double-layer disks, which offer large data capacity up to 8.5GB, roughly 2,000 MP3 songs. Most double-layer discs at the moment support 2.4X speed, meaning to burn a full disc takes approximately 40 to 50 minutes. 4X disks are available as well, but higher speed also comes with higher price. With Over-Speed Burning, you can burn an 8.5GB, 24X double-layer disk in only 26 minutes.
The advantages of Over-Speed Burning are pretty obvious. ASUS optical drives leverage a mechanism for disc quality detection and intelligently adjusts for the most suitable burning speeds to prevent poor quality and damaged discs.
ASUS, the heart of technology, is available through retailers of Banbros Commercial Inc.
