The External Super-Multi DVD Rewriter from LG Electronics is a slim DVD rewriter that has the ability to read and write various formats of both CD and DVD discs. It features built-in LightScribe technology, which allows you to etch labels onto specially coated LightScribe discs.
It also features buffer under-run prevention. Buffer under-run occurs when the computer's data transfer speed cannot keep up with the rewriter's write speed, resulting in an unusable disc. With an embedded buffer under-run prevention function, this LG rewriter has the ability to pause and wait for the computer to catch up, which ensures that the disc is burned correctly.
