Features  
The ASUS SCB-2408-D is an External Slim CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive with  
24x CD-Write, 12x CD-ReWrite, 24x CD-Read and 8x DVD-Read  
capabilities. The drive complies with the Universal Serial Bus 2.0  
(USB 2.0) and IEEE 1394 specifications and comes equipped with the  
latest innovative technologies in CD recording.  
ASUS External Slim CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives are accentuated by the  
latest innovations in CD-recording technology, namely: FlextraSpeedTM,  
FlextraLinkTM, and the P-CAV (Partial Constant Angular Velocity).  
The following sub-sections describe these technologies in detail.  
FlextraSpeedTechnology  
The ASUS FlextraSpeed™ technology provides the optimum solution to ensure  
quality recording when using discs that require flexible speeds. The SCB-2408-D  
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.  
The FlextraSpeed™ technology also helps maintain the CD-RW drive because of  
the controlled motor rotation speeds and reduced noise caused by spindle air,  
thus prolonging the drive motor’s life and ensuring high-quality recording.  
FlextraLinkTechnology  
The ASUS FlextraLink™ technology provides a seamless combination of flexibility  
and ultra-reliable recording quality.  
FlextraLink™ incorporates a flexible strategy that prevents buffer underrun  
problems caused by an empty data buffer. This CD-RW drive technology allows  
continuous monitoring of the data buffer status during the write process. Once the  
available data drops to approximately 1% of the total buffer capacity, the drive  
stops recording and marks the last write position. When new data is received from  
the host, it is loaded to the data buffer, and the laser is repositioned to link the new  
data with the data already written. FlextraLink™ uses minimal system resources so  
that your PC remains fully operational throughout the writing process, and  
available for other applications.

Partial Constant Angular Velocity (P-CAV) Recording Technology  
The Partial Constant Angular Velocity (P-CAV) recording method is a combination of  
the Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) and Constant Linear Velocity (CLV) recording  
technologies. In CAV recording technology, the drive maintains a consistent rotation  
speed which will result in a variable transfer rate, while in CLV recording technology,  
the data transfer rate is kept at a fixed level by changing the rotation speed.  
Speed  
Partial CAV  
P-CAV recording  
technology switches from  
CAV to CLV once the  
maximum transfer rate is  
reached. Unlike Zone  
Constant Linear Velocity (Z-  
CLV) recording, no links are  
produced in the P-CAV  
recording process, resulting  
in a higher average transfer  
rate.
