It seems like only yesterday that 12X burners hit the scene with a force, knocking 50% off of 8X write times. At the time, the question was asked, "How much faster can they get?" 16X came knocking on the door. However, with 16X writes came high spindle speeds at the innermost tracks. Since all burners to this point wrote at constant speeds (thus varying spindle speed), it didn´t seem possible to increase burn speeds any further. Drive manufacturers, however, pulled an old trick from their sleeves by introducing variable write speeds. Some chose the Partial CAV path; others chose something called Zone CLV. With their implementation of 24X writes, Plextor is among the latter. What is Zone CLV? How does it allow for higher writes? What else does Plextor bring to the table with their latest burner? These, among other questions, will be answered.
