Product description

The IBM 48X/32X/48X Max CD-RW Drive can write and read CD-RW and CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, and can read mass-produced stamped CDs. CDs created with this drive are compatible with Multi-Read CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives that can read CD-RW discs and other media, and with older non-Multi-Read CD-ROM drives that can read only CD-R and CD-ROM discs.

The drive can write to a CD-R disc at up to 48 times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 7200 KB1 per second. At this rate, the drive can record an 80-minute CD-R disc in a little more than three minutes. The drive writes to CD-RW and CD-R discs at different speeds. The drive can write to an ultra-speed CD-RW disc at up to 32 times the standard CD-ROM speed, recording data at up to 4800 KB per second. At this rate, the drive can record an 80-minute CD-RW disc in less than four minutes. The drive can also read data at up to 48 times the standard CD-ROM speed.

This drive incorporates EasyWrite technology. EasyWrite is an open industry standard created to make CD-RW easier to use. Benefits include background formatting and physical defect management by the drive. For more information, go to www.mt-rainier.org.

The CD-RW drive can be installed only in a computer that uses the integrated drive electronics (IDE) or the enhanced IDE (EIDE) architecture.
