Engineered For Speed? The New
CRW2100SZ Records an Entire CD in Only
5 Minutes! |
FEATURES:
| Trust your
important data to Yamaha CD-RW drives. Recordable and ReWritable
CDs are ideal for any storage purpose: they hold up to 700MB of
data or music, offer complete security and reliability and are
compatible with 300 million computers worldwide. Yamaha 3-in-1
CD-RW drives are your best choice for creating CDs. With their
superior quality, speed, features and bundled software, they
have received numerous awards and excellent reviews from every
corner of the computer industry. |
 |
Store data and
graphics files with floppy disk ease onto removable media to
free up limited and expensive hard disk space. |
|
Save photos and
videos for instant access/playback, anytime, anywhere. |
|
Record your original
music on audio CDs for friends or talent agents. |
|
Backup and archive
information for instant access on the most reliable media. |
|
Distribute files
worldwide and be confident that anyone can read them. |
|
Compile your favorite
songs on your own "greatest hits" audio CDs. |
16X Write Speed
| World's
first-top speed, writing a 74-minute CD in under five minutes.
when you start to use Yamaha's 16X record speed, you will wonder
how you got by without 16X. There is no time to make a coffee or
surf the net while waiting for your CD to be burnt!! |
10X Re Write Speed
| CAV (Constant Angular
Velocity) mode carries the ReWrite speed from 4X to 10X,
enabling smoother access to data. So don't use CD-R discs for
your temporary backup; go straight to CD-RW and ReWrite as you
like - it saves space, money and the environment. |
40X Read /Audio Ripping Speed
| 40X
max (CAV), extracting a 74-minute audio disc in about 3 minutes.
This fast and accurate audio ripping capability gives you
satisfaction in creating compilation audio CDs, making your PC a
virtual music jukebox with a lot of MP3 files, etc. With
the fastest read speed in the industry; Yamaha CD-RW recorders
eliminate the need for an additional CD-ROM drive. |
Buffer Memory
| With a generous 8MB
buffer memory, Yamaha CD-RW drives save you time, wasted media
and aggravation. |
Partial CAV Writing to
CD-R
| This is a breakthrough in CD-R
technology. The CRW2100 series supports 12X-16X Partial CAV
writing to CD-R media, enabling significant increase in the data
transfer rates while minimizing the load increase to the drive's
mechanism and maximizing writing quality. Also, this P-CAV mode
is useful for on-the-fly, disc-to-disc copying because most
CD-ROM drives use CAV." |
Pure
Phase Laser
System
| Yamaha's
Pure Phase Laser System eliminates unwanted reflections and
glare produced when recording a CD, and stabilizes the laser
power, resulting in more accurate recording and reduction of
jitter (deviation from correct signals) by 25%, ensuring high
recording reliability even at high speeds. Both your audio and
data recordings will be of a higher quality, and there is less
risk of non-compatibility in CD ROM playback." |
Optimum
Write Speed Control
| Even though the CRW2100 has very
fast recording capability, it still has to check the media is up
to the same fast speeds of recording. Before writing to CD-R,
CRW2100 checks the media's capability and automatically selects
the optimum writing speed, to improve reliability. |
Waste-Proof Write
Strategy
| This exclusive
write strategy maximizes stability of the recording environment
by combining a large buffer memory, CAV writing support for
on-the-fly data backup, and specific fine-tunings to the
recording software, resulting in elimination of buffer underruns
and waste of media. |
Flash ROM
| Instantly upgrade
your drive software to extend its life and productivity. |
RapidLinked
Packet Writing
| Add files to a CD
one at a time with drag and drop simplicity. Archiving has never
been easier. |

CAV Writing to CD-R |
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done
using CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method. In this method, the disc
rotation speed will be so adjusted as to keep a constant data transfer
rate at any portion of the disc. In other words, the disc rotation speed
will vary in CLV writing.
In contrast, CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method uses a constant disc
rotation speed at any portion of the disc whereas the data transfer rate
will vary. Because CAV method has an advantage to largely increase the
data transfer rate with a minimum load to the drive's mechanism (compared
to CLV's rotation speed adjustment), many of current CD-ROM drives use CAV
method. CD formats define the constant linear density of written data
(data should be written onto the disc track in the constant pitch) so that
amount of recorded data per disc rotation will increase as the writing
point moves from the inner to the outer. In other words, in CAV writing
the outer portion has an increased data transfer rate.
The CRW2100 series uses CAV method in the inner portions as well as CLV
method in the outer portions (Partial CAV) in order to enable up to
16X-speed writing while pursuing high-quality. The drive will control the
disc rotation speed to start writing at 12X speed in the inner portions,
gradually accelerating up to 16X speed and maintaining 16X speed in the
outer portions.
