I believe this is the 1st portable drive to support the LightScribe technology. Too bad the drive is OEM only, so you'll have to buy a new notebook to get it.
Toshiba Corp. has developed a slim-line optical disc drive with support for Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Lightscribe label-etching technology.
Lightscribe allows labels to be etched onto blank discs using the drive's laser. To use the technology, users will burn data onto a blank disc as normal and then flip over the disc and reinsert it to etch the label on the reverse side. Several software applications are compatible with the technology, which is also used by other drive makers and supported by several blank media makers.
The SD-R6572M supports DVD+/-R write and DVD-ROM read at speeds up to 8X, DVD+/-RW write at speeds up to 4X, CD-R write and CD-ROM read at speeds up to 24X and CD-RW write at speeds up to 10X. The drive measures 12.7 millimeters high and is suitable in slim drive bays such as those in laptop computers.
Want to see LightScribe in action? I watched this video the other day and it demonstrated it well.
