The transfer rates for this Slim SuperMulti DVD Drive (see table in Technical Specifications section), combined with extensive compatibility and conformance to worldwide DVD standards, make the HP Slim 8X SATA SuperMulti Drive a highly efficient and cost-effective storage solution for corporate, education, government, and traditional entertainment and media customers.

Double Layer:
Designed for high capacity data backup and digital video applications, the HP Slim 8X SATA SuperMulti Drive offers a complete solution for high quality video, audio, data archiving and interactive DVD applications playable on most set-top DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. The HP Slim 8X SATA SuperMulti Drive can write up to 8.5 GB of data on Double Layer (DL) media (equivalent to 4 hours DVD-quality video) or up to 4.7 GB of data (single layer), equaling 6 fully-recorded CD-Rs in approximately 6 minutes. The HP Slim 8X SATA SuperMulti Drive enhances a wide range of DVD applications including the authoring, editing and storing of video files, developing digital music catalogs, building image libraries and backing up data.

Triple Format:
The HP Slim 8X SATA SuperMulti Drive is able to read and write to all three DVD formats (DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and DVD-RAM)

NOTE: Actual speeds may vary. Does not permit copying of commercially available DVD movies or other copy-right protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other lawful uses.
Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players.

Serial ATA: Serial ATA is the next generation ATA interface. It provides you with faster data transfer speeds, better system cooling airflow, more bandwidth, more headroom for speed increases in future generations and better data integrity helping to improve your productivity. This SATA interface connects storage devices to the PC platform providing a direct path between the storage device and the PC. This offers you the additional benefits of dedicated bandwidth, the ability to more easily identify device failures and scalability.
