DMA (Direct Memory Access)

DMA is a method that transfers data between various peripheral devices (e.g., 

a hard drive, CD-R/RW drive, etc.) and the computer memory without going 

through the CPU in the computer. Using DMA transfer increases not only the 

data transfer speed but also the processing speed by decreasing straining of the 

CPU.

Install the included CD writing software on your computer.

For details on how to install CD writing software, refer to the documentation 

that comes with it.
