Triple Format:
The HP PATA Slim SuperMulti LightScribe DVD Drive is able to read and write to all three DVD formats (DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and DVD-RAM)

LightScribe:
This Slim SuperMulti DVD drive is now available with LightScribe; a revolutionary new technology which allows you to create professional looking laser-etched disc labels using the same laser that burns your data - right inside your DVD drive.
LightScribe technology is an integrated system that combines the HP PATA Slim SuperMulti LightScribe DVD Drive with specially coated discs* and enhanced disc-burning software to produce precise, laser-etched labels with gray-scale images similar to a black-and-white photograph. This amazing technology is the no-hassle way to create elegant labels for all your CDs and DVDs. Simply burn your data, then flip the disc and burn your own unique label. No ink, no messy markers or clumpy adhesive labels.

* LightScribe media sold separately.
