In 1995, Lite-On Technology gathered a group of scientists and engineers to help jumpstart their optical storage research and manufacturing business. Lite-On quickly established themselves as Taiwan’s leading CD-ROM drive manufacturer and by 1999 the business had been spun off into a separate company, Lite-On IT. Working closely with companies like BenQ and Philips, the company has grown even further to become the world's second largest optical drive manufacturer and has expanded into the consumer and automotive electronics markets.
One of the latest additions to Lite-On's already impressive line of DVD writers is the LH-20A1L. This new Serial ATA equipped "Super AllWrite" drive is capable of 20x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD±R DL and 12x DVD-RAM writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 16x.
