Internal Laptop Notebook Slim 8x DVD +/- RW Double Layer Burner Drive with LightScribe.

LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that uses specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels with text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs.

The purpose of LightScribe is to allow users to create direct-to-disc labels (as opposed to stick-on labels), using their optical disc writer. Special discs and a compatible disc writer are required. Before or after burning data to the read-side of the disc, the user turns the disc over and inserts it with the label side down. The drive's laser then etches into the label side in such a way that an image is produced.

Everything you need to burn DVDs and CDs with this Drive!

Tray Loading Drive Front Bezel

If your current CD drive front bezel is the same rectangle shape and dimension, then you can replace it with this DVD +/-RW drive.

Note: This CD Drive has a 50-pin ATAPI IDE Interface Connector as the picture shows:



If your original CD drive rear connector looks different from this drive, it may have a special rear adapter added to the drive rear connector. Some laptops use this rear adapter to change the position and shape of the rear connector. In this case, you need to remove that rear adapter from original drive and re-use the rear adapter with the new drive.

Tech Note:This drive is a bare drive only. Some laptops may use mounting frames or a caddy around the bare CD drive for easy swap. You need to re-use the mounting frames or caddy in order to use this new drive.
