Toshiba
Storage Device Division (SDD), an industry pioneer in optical storage
technology, today announced enhancements to its optical lineup with four new
products, including the SD-R6572M, a slim-line optical drive equipped with the
LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology that now includes DVD+R double layer
capability.
The
SD-R6572M builds on Toshiba's previously announced LightScribe drive by adding
double layer media capabilities.
Developed by HP, LightScribe technology enables computer users to easily
burn silk-screen quality labels onto CD and DVD discs directly from the drive,
eliminating added steps for creating labels or using pens to identify disc
content.
'LightScribe
is the future of DVD and CD creation because consumers are continually looking
for ways to make the computing experience easier, yet more creative and robust,"
said Maciek Brzeski, vice president
of marketing, Toshiba SDD. 'Toshiba
continues to anticipate consumer needs and provide the storage solutions that
our OEM partners can use to build higher- performing PCs."
