HP Updates LightScribe DVD Writers

Speaking as a DVD fan, I love that LightScribe technology. Heck, I have even overlooked that it is HP that puts these little gems out on the market!

The great news is that there is now a new line of them out, this time with better media support!

HP has today introduced its latest DVD burners into the market, now with Super Multi support. In addition, besides the usual DVD±R(W) (double layer) media, these drives are also compatible with DVD-RAM format.

The dvd840i and dvd840e Super Multi DVD writers are high-speed internal/external drives with DVD-R/RW, CD-R/-RW and DVD-RAM read/write capability. The drives read and write single-layer and double-layer DVDs, as well as supporting LightScribe, including media version 1.2 for high-contrast labelling.

Both dvd840 drives allow you to store, edit and share up to 8.5GB of video, photos, multimedia and other data files with a double-layer DVD (up to 4.7GB on single layer) and quickly backup and transport files on DVDs and CDs. The 840-series drives record single-layer DVDs at up to 16x, double-layer DVDs at up to 8x, and DVD-RAM at up to 5x. Source: BIOS
