FlexSS-BP Speed Control Technology

Time

The FlexSS-BP technology stands for “Flexible Speed” and “Flexible Strategy”. This technology prevents problems with recording media when writing at high speeds like 20x or 24x.

Because of disc variations caused by serpentine tracks or off-centered discs, Flexible Speed allows the drive to assess the physical condition of the disc then determine the suitable recording speed for the disc. While recording, the drive continues to monitor the disc condition and flexibly switches to different speeds to maintain the optimum recording condition.

Flexible Strategy measures and evaluates the recording condition of recorded area at switching zones. This feature can restart the recording after checking the pit condition at the recording stop position and the optimization of the recording parameters.
