Finish the project right with professional looking laser-etched disc labels right from your HP Business Desktop. With HP LightScribe, you can burn your own laser-etched disc labels using the same laser that burns your data — right inside your Blu-ray drive. It is an integrated system that combines the HP 16X SATA Blu-ray Writer 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.

NOTE: Playing back Blu-ray HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content such as commercially distributed Blu-ray HD movies requires a fully HDCP compliant path on your computer. The HDCP technology checks compliance of each component in the path from the content on the Blu-ray disc all the way to the display monitor.

NOTE: Actual speeds may vary. HP 16X SATA Blu-ray Writer data transfer rates up to 6,000 KB/s (CD) and 16,600 KB/s (DVD).
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. Double-layer discs burned with this drive can only be read by double layer capable DVD drives and players. LightScribe creates a grayscale image similar to black and white photography. LightScribe media required and sold separately. All LightScribe support, drivers and application software, is included within the Roxio Business Creator HD software.

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.
