The 1:3 Blu-ray/DVD/CD LightScribe Duplicator SA from Aleratec is a standalone LightScribe disc publishing system that simultaneously burns 3 Blu-ray discs, DVDs, or CDs or labels up to 3 DVDs or CDs. Because this duplicator has a separate Blu-ray multidrive reader, you can immediately do convenient disc-to-disc copies on the fly. Although as a second option, you can also connect the duplicator to your Windows PC via USB 2.0 and drag-and-drop files onto the duplicator's internal 1TB hard drive. From there, you'll have 1TB of memory for storing disc images and label files in case you need to use them again. Because this unit can duplicate from a variety of source formats, you don't have to first create an image file to duplicate discs. You can simply drop your content from your computer onto the duplicator's internal hard drive and start burning.* As a final touch from Aleratec, the duplicator utilizes LightScribe technology to write silk-screen quality labels directly on your CDs or DVDs. This eliminates the need for dealing with potentially messy inkjet cartridges. After you burn, place your discs back in for labeling.
Note! * Duplicating from folders on the Duplicator's interal HDD without creating an image file is only supported for CDs and DVDs, not Blu-ray discs.
