The HP SATA SuperMulti LightScribe Drive gives you a storage capacity of 8.5 GB - nearly twice that of previous generation drives thanks to double layer technology. It writes to DVD+R at up to 16X, DVD-RAM at up to 12X, Double Layer DVD+R at up to 8X, DVD+RW at up to 8X, DVD-R at up to 16X, Double Layer DVD-R at up to 8X, DVD-RW at up to 6X, CD-R at up to 40X and CD-RW at up to 32X and reads from industry standard DVD-ROM media at up to 16X and CD-ROM media at up to 40X. These transfer rates, combined with conformance to worldwide DVD standards, make the HP SATA SuperMulti LightScribe DVD Writer Drive a highly efficient and cost-effective storage solution for your business.

Want to create professional looking laser-etched disc labels right from your HP Business Desktop? With LightScribe, you can burn your own laser-etched disc labels using the same laser that burns your data - right inside your DVD drive. It is an integrated system that combines the HP SATA SuperMulti LightScribe 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.

SATA (Serial ATA) interface 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.

* Actual speeds may vary. HP SATA SuperMulti LightScribe Drive data transfer rates up to 6,000 KB/s (CD) and 21,600 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. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer 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 Easy Media Creator software.
