Sony raises the bar for high performance CD-R/RW burning again with its new 52X max. CD-RW drive. The CRX230A can create a full CD-R disc in less than 2 minutes or a full CD-RW disc in about 4 minutes, and features Power-Burn drive conformed buffer underrun protection technology. Installation of the CRX230A into small footprint desktop computer cases is easier thanks to the drive's shorter length.
