Sony NEC Optiarc Europe has announced the launch of their first
LightScribe capable DVD writer, the AD-7191S. Along with support for LightScribe, the AD-7191S features 20x DVD±R, 8x DVD±R DL and 12x
DVD-RAM writing speeds.
Sony NEC Optiarc
Europe GmbH (Optiarc Europe) has launched a DVD burner with LightScribe technology. The Optiarc AD-7191S burns DVD+/-R media at up to 20x
speed. The LightScribe Label System enables the individual labelling and design of home-burned CD and DVD.
The AD-7191S has a
serial ATA interface for data transfer rates of up to 150 MB per second. It burns single DVD media at up to 20x DVD speed, rewritable and
dual layer DVDs at up to 8x speed and DVD-RAMS at up to a maximum of 12x DVD speed.
While the AD-7191S's bezel is very
NEC-like, there have been numerous reports that it, and the AD-7191A, are based on Lite-On designs. More information, including a full
list of specs, can be found here.
