Sony CRX200E-RP DDCD CD-ReWriter
Sony will present their new Sony CRX200E-RP CD-ReWriter at Cebit. This drive will support the new Double Density CD (DDCD) standard which doubles the capacity of a Recordable/ReWritable media from 650MB to 1.3 GB! This 1.3GB capacity is achieved by reducing the space between the tracks (the spiral) as well as reducing the pit-length. Because of this an improved error-correction system will be implemented.

For now it is not known if this drive will implement a buffer-underrun system, like BURN-Proof, but it is possible that none will be used because the size of the buffer memory size is big!

The drive will be available in April/May 2001.

SONY CRX200E-RP Specifications:
  • 12x Write, 8x ReWrite & 32x Read
  • 8 MB Memory Buffer
  • E-IDE/ATAPI Interface (16.7 MB/s PIO Mode 4, DMA Mode 2)
