Checking the data prior to writing to the disk or at the disk will detect write errors that could propagate as latent write errors when the data is read back at a later time. It's remarkable 48X write speed enables a full CD-R to be burned in less than two and a half minutes, and because veloCD utilizes the Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) method of writing to disk, unlike drives that use Constant Linear Velocity (CLV) technology, CD recording performance is smoother, with less chance of write errors. A new diagnostic function empowers users by helping them determine whether write errors are caused by the drive, the media, or the system. |
