DDSSII -
Operate with exceptional stability
The DDSS
II (Double Dynamic Suspension System II) technology is a patented
anti-vibration technology from ASUS. This innovation is designed to minimize
the vibration caused by the spindle motor and resonance between components as
well as the drive and PC case. The ASUS DDSS II stabilizes the pick-up head
both horizontally and vertically, achieving more precise tracking while
reducing vibration and noise produced by high-revolution spindle motors.
Liquid
Crystal Tilt Technology - Precision on Uneven Discs
The LCT
(Liquid Crystal Tilt) technology provides enhanced pick up head accuracy during
recording and playback on discs with uneven curvature and thickness, this
allowing users to enjoy less skipping during disc backups and media playback.
Smart
Laser Driver - Advanced Technology For Stabilized Recording Quality
The smart
laser driver technology combines the strategy circuit into the laser driver in
the OPU. The main PCB only sends the data and clock signal through the
connectors and cables. Even if there is distortion in the data and clock signal,
the strategy circuit in the OPU will correct these irregularities back to
normal and not allow them to affect the recording quality. The Smart Laser
Driver technology is the key for stable recording quality - especially for
high-speed recording drives.

Asus DRW-2014 L1T
The innovative QuieTrack technology is developed to dampen drive noise
in every conceivable fashion while improving stability, and consists of
two revolutionary features; Airflow Field Modification (AFFM) and
FlextraLink. AFFM is designed to change the uneven airflow field inside
the drive to a balanced pressure distribution that leads to a quiet and
stable operation. FlextraLink prevents "blank spots” on the disc during
the data burning process by marking the disc where writing stopped and
resume the operation at the same place when information flow begins
again.
Other features include is designed to minimize the vibration caused by the spindle motor and resonance between components as well as the drive and PC cases. AVRS is designed to reduce vibration and noise induced by unbalanced mass of rotating machinery.
