Description:
The Yamaha 16x10x40 external FireWire CD-RW drive lets you record and rewrite up to 700 MB of data or music on a disc. This external CD-RW drive can record on CD-R discs at the top speed of 16x, writing a 74-minute CD in less than five minutes. It rewrites CD-RW discs at the speed of 10x and reads CDs at a sustained maximum rate of 40x. In addition, the drive lets you rip CDs--convert CD music tracks to WAV and MP3 files for creating music CDs on a PC--at a speed of 40x, allowing digital audio extraction of a 74-minute audio disc in less than three minutes. The drive's Pure Phase laser system, found exclusively in Yamaha products, reduces reflections and glare when CDs are recorded, resulting in fewer errors on the finished disc. Reliability is also increased through Optimum Write Speed Control, which automatically selects the best recording speed for a disc. The FireWire connection provides simple installation, reliable performance, and fast recording speeds. Compatible with PCs running Windows 95 and higher and Macintosh computers with operating system 8.6 and higher, the Yamaha 16x10x40 External FireWire CD-RW comes with a one-year warranty.
