Web Chase competition (closes 9 am, Feb 8, 2002)

NOTE: This competition is running for two weeks. If you entered last week, you do not need to enter again.

The CWO38D CD-RW drive features read speeds up to 40x, write speeds up to 16x and re-write speeds up to 12x with 100ms access time.

It comes with recording software and two blank discs.

The CW038D is an internal type, 5.25-inch, half-height CD-RW drive with an IDE/ATAPI interface. The drive utilizes a High Precise Sledge Control (HPSC) type traverse mechanism to improve access time to 100 ms while reducing acoustic seek noise.

ExacLink buffer under-run protection is employed to allow trouble free creation of CD audio and other disc types under the most difficult conditions. The ExacLink feature allows high speed, high quality writing of discs on the first try, regardless of the computer performance and drive buffer size. Buffer under-runs are no longer a problem with ExacLink since the drive automatically responds to the condition and continues writing as soon as more data is available without causing a buffer under-run error.
