ASUS, a leading hardware manufacturer, is launching its CD-S400 40X CD-ROM drive, a new generation of CD-ROM drive with a peak 6.0MBps data transfer rate and a spin speed up to 8900 rpm. The new ASUS CD-S400 is able to breakthrough the bottleneck with innovative solutions to sustain accuracy and stability of high-speed data transfer. As the storage requirement of software installation increases, the operating system demands a rapid performance improvement of modern CD-ROM drives in order to support the "Partial Installation" feature which allows a computer to execute application programs directly from a CD-ROM drive. This feature benefits users in simplified installation and smaller Hard Disk space. ASUSTek, with its innovative vision and advanced technology, has developed a new business in the CD-ROM drive market. After winning distinguished awards and reputation on its CD-S340 34X CD-ROM, the company has committed to delivering solid quality and high performance for its new CD-S400 as well.
