Toshiba Upgrades LightScribe-Enabled DVD Burner
May 24, 2005
Irvine, CA - Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD), 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 is designed for 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."
