ASUS has officially announced their new 20x "Super Multi" drive,
the DRW-2014L1T. Along with support for LightScribe and Serial ATA, the DRW-2014L1T features 20x DVD±R, 8x DVD±R DL and 14x DVD-RAM
writing speeds.
ASUS, provider of
high-performance optical drives, today introduced the DRW-2014 L1T internal DVD rewriter with LightScribe direct disc labeling
technology. This innovative DVD RW drive provides a high speed of 20X DVD±R write, 8X DVD±R (DL) and 14X DVD-RAM reading capabilities. In
addition, users can expect to enjoy five times faster data transfer rates than the current DMA33 standards with the SATA
interface...
...Besides boasting an exceedingly fast speed of 20X for DVDs, the innovative LightScribe technology is also able to
provide users with customized disc labeling. The LightScribe technology is comprised of three parts: the DRW-2014 L1T Drive,
LightScribe-compatible colored discs and LightScribe enabled burning software. After the data has been burnt onto the disc, users only
have to flip the disc over to write the graphic and text on the label side - providing professional-grade labels.
Like
ASUS's other drives, the DRW-2014L1T also features their QuieTrack, FlextraLink and FlextraSpeed technologies. No word yet on when the
drive will hit the US or how much it will be. As we find out more, we'll let you know. Until then, head on over to ASUS's website.
