The Fastest FireWire CDRW Recorder for MAC and PC users 16X10X40 with Burn-Proof technology under $300.00..

Tustin, California, March 5, 2001

Combining all the lastest advanced technologies, CalOptic's Firewire SpeedBurn16(tm. CDRW Recorder offers unsurpassed performance and versatility.

CalOptic takes recording performance to the next level with a new SpeedBurn16 writer that can boast as the world's fastest writing (16X), rewriting (10X) and reading (40X) speeds with FireWire (400Mbps) interface supporting PC, Notebook, or Power MAC.

CalOptic's SpeedBurn16 CDRW Writer features burn-proof technology, making it the industry's fastest burner that allows users to burn CDs in the background while continuing to perform other tasks on their computer.

SpeedBurn16 CDRW Burner features:

Firewire interface (IEEE 1394) SpeedBurn offers speed, simplicity, and connectivity
- Easy to use/Hot Pluggable - devices can be added or removed while your system is running with immediate device recognition
- Flexible Topology - supports widely flexible branching configurations and daisy chaining up to 63 devices
- Up to 400 Mbps of bus data transfer, FireWire is able to guarantee a bandwidth for just-in-time delivery of multimedia data

Without BURN-Proof technology, the first moment of internal buffer goes empty (no data) due to interruptions from the data flowing to the CD burner. The "buffer under run" error occurs, and as a result, the CD Burner just made a "coaster" instead of a successfully copied CD.

No More CD Coasters
To prevent buffer underrun errors, SpeedBurn16 continuously monitors the status of its built-in buffer memory. When a buffer underrun error is about empty, SpeedBurn16 suspends recording process until the buffer is re-filled. Once its buffer refills, SpeedBurn16 compares the recorded data with the data in its buffer and synchronizes adjacent frames, then restarts recording at exactly the precise position where recording was originally suspended, therefore "No more CD Coaster".

The Fastest CD ReWriting
CD rewriting is becoming an important tool for day-to-day data backups, and SpeedBurn16 makes the process faster and more convenient with 10X rewriting. This is a dramatic advancement over conventional CD rewriters, which typically max out at 4X or 8X.

The new SpeedBurn16 writer can be bundled with Nero 5.0 recording software (optional), the industry's most versatile music management and recording software and InCD drag-and-drop packet writing software, which allows users to backup most CD formats and create:
