NEC CRX320EE Combo CD Burner

The combination drive for combined use.

The CRX320EE from Sony NEC Optiarc brings together various optical storage disciplines. This device is a DVD drive and a CD burner rolled in one. Thanks to its combined functionality, it is well suited for a series of new and specialized applications.

An overview of its technical capabilities: The CRX320EE reads DVD-ROMs at speeds up to 16x. By using Turbo Boost CD-ROMs are read at speeds up to 52x (default speed is 40x). Other CD-specific write and read functions match this level of performance. It writes CD-R at speeds up to 52x. The numbers achieved with the CD-RW format, at 40x (read) and 32x (write), are equally impressive.

DVDs and CDs can thus both be played and written with high-quality, reliability and high-precision.
