1st LiteOn LightScribe Drive


LightScribe is the slick technology of "writing" a label onto the top of special discs. Only a few drives support it. Up until now, in the States, you had to buy an HP drive to be able to do this. Now LiteOn debuts a drive supporting LightScribe. The rest of the specs are state of the art. I hope that this brings this neat technology to the mainstream masses.
