The External USB 2.0 Super-MultiDrive LightScribe DVD Writer from Other World Computing is part of OWC's Value Line series. It combines the power of a LG Super-Multi GH24LS70 DVD writer with a sturdy USB 2.0 enclosure. It also comes with OWC LightScribe software bundle for Mac. LightScribe technology allows you to etch labels onto special-coated LightScribe discs. The included NTI DragonBurn software makes it easy to burn audio, data or mixed-mode CDs and DVDs on the Mac. Prosoft Engineering Data Backup 3 software is also included and it helps back up your files that are located on your Mac onto CD and DVD discs. NovaStor NovaBACKUP is also part of the software bundle and it works with Windows computers to back up your data with ease.

Excellent Reliability
Whether it has to kick into high rotations or perform at low speed operations, the included LG Super-Multi GH24LS70 DVD writer prevents noise and vibration while ensuring reliable disc writing. It even checks the quality of each inserted disc and intuitively alters the laser power on the inner and outer sides accordingly. This DVD writer even tilts the objective lens when the disc is not laying flat
Blazing Read & Write Speed
The LG Super-Multi GH24LS70 internal DVD Rewriter features a 24x DVD±R write speed and a 48x write speed for CD-R. Designed for storage needs that demand consistency, the GH24LS70 reads and writes in CD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD RAM formats giving you the option to choose the media best suited for each task
Eco-Friendly Design
This DVD writer not only reduces heat and CO2 emissions, thanks to Samsung's ultra-reliable technology, but its aerodynamic frame was engineered to reduce acoustic noise by preventing pressure concentration in specific areas. This DVD writer also features low power consumption for energy-efficient performance as well as to promote a green lifestyle
