High speed processing, simple installation and easier upgrade now available with the new SATA system ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS) announced the CRW-5232A-T internal drive with SATA (Serial ATA) disc storage system for greater scalability, simpler installation, thinner cables and faster process. The CRW-5232A-T is capable of delivering 52X write and 32X rewrite. In addition, the CRW-5232A-T incorporates innovative technologies exclusivelsing speed (up to 1.5 Gb/s) while remaining backward compatible with Parallel ATA drivery from ASUS, including FlextraLink , FlextraSpeed , DDSS II and CAV (constant angular velocity) writing strategy. The ASUS CRW-5232A-T utilizes CAV/Z-CLV writing strategy to significantly shorten recording time and achieve higher average recording speed, compared to other high-speed CD-RW drives on the market.

Revolutionary SATA Interface
ASUS CRW-5232-T adopts the new SATA interface, which is the next generation internal storage interconnect designed to replace parallel ATA technology. SATA is the proactive evolution of the ATA interface from a parallel bus to serial bus architecture. This architecture overcomes the electrical constraints that induce difficulties in continued speed enhancements for the traditional parallel ATA bus. Major benefits of the new SATA interface include greater speed, simpler upgradeable storage devices and easier configuration.
