II improves this feature by handling up to over 10 000 rpm of the new CD RW drives In addition the DDSS II stabilizes the pick up head of the drive in both horizontal and vertical directions making tracking and focusing even more precise Like the DDSS the DDSS II vibration absoption structure contains a dynamic mass that can absorb the vibration caused by high revolution of spindle motor However the DDSS II moves the dynamic mass to be suspended to the chassis thus providing more stability and accuracy when accessing data from the disc The diagram on the following page illustrates the DDSS DDSS II design structure ASUS CRW 5232AS DDSS DDSS II Design Structure ASUS CRW 5232AS 20 Constant Angular Velocity CAV Recording Technology The CRW 5232AS drive employs the Constant Angular Velocity CAV recording method With CAV recording the drive spindle motor rotates the disc at the same speed regardless of the radial position of the pickup head This means that there is a higher transfer rate when writing data to the outer tracks of the disc than to the inner tracks as the head traverses a longer linear path on the outer than the inner part of the disc Although the transfer rates vary and may not be at maximum depending on the part of the disc being written to the CAV method allows faster recording speed because the rotation speed does not have to change when the head writes data to different areas of the disc T
