Features of the PX-716UF
•
USB 2.0 and FireWire interface:
Features both USB 2.0 and
FireWire® (IEEE 1394), to connect to a PC or Macintosh computer
with either of these high-speed interfaces. Supports both Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 (480 megabits per second) and Full-Speed USB 1.1 (12
megabits per second).
•
Intelligent recording
: Achieves recording at high quality and
optimum speed using any media, thanks to unique Plextor
technology:
Writing technology for unknown media. When a writable or
rewritable disc isn’t listed in the drive’s internal media catalog,
AutoStrategy automatically checks the disc and develops a write
strategy for it.
Intelligent Tilt
: Precise laser control and three-dimensional tilt
adjustment for uneven disc surfaces. Ensures optimal recording
and reading, especially with double layer media.
PoweRec
: Plextor Optimized Writing Error Reduction Control
(PoweRec) adjusts laser power and writing speed so they’re at
the optimum settings for that particular disc. (For example,
when you’re writing an 8X-rated DVD, PoweRec checks to see
if a higher speed is possible, and sets the optimum write speed—
up to a maximum of 16X.)
•
VariRec
: Lets you change the write strategy to record at highest
quality on different types of discs. Also provides user adjustment of
the recording power above or below a default level. This adjustment
lets you customize the optimum laser power to your own needs.
•
Silent Mode
: Unique technology that sets the drive for super-silent
operation. By controlling access speed, read/write speed, and tray
opening and closing speed, you reduce drive noise to a whisper.
•
MMC compliance
: Supports the MMC-4 command set.
