Yamaha's new family of CD-RW drives offers speeds of 16X for writing, 10X for rewriting and 40X for reading. A similar drive from Ricoh, for example, offers speeds of 12X for writing, 10X for rewriting and 32X for reading. |
Yamaha says that means the new drives can burn a 79-minute audio CD in about 5 minutes. A user could "rip," or extract digital music, from a 74-minute CD in about 3 minutes, Yamaha says.
Yamaha also has added software designed to improve the recording quality of the CDs created with the drive. These improvements include the Pure Phase Laser System, a more precise method of recording digital signals.
The CRW2100 series of CD-RW drives, which includes four different products, will be available in both internal and external models by mid-November.
Anyone who's gonna buy this one ?
