Amazon.com Product Description
The GSA-5163D Super-Multi triple-format external DVD drive from LG Electronics gives you an incredible 16x maximum DVD burn speed and 5x DVD-RAM writing. And you'll never have to worry about compatibility, since this drive is compatible with all DVD formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM. What's more, it also supports dual-layer DVD+R (8.5 GB) and has one USB 2.0 port and a pair of IEEE 1394/FireWire ports.
Now you can store almost 4 hours of video, hundreds of MP3 files, and gigs of original music, photos, or data, and burning your media will be faster and easier than before. The recorder also performs burns on rewritable media at 8x for DVD+RW and 6x for DVD-RW and up to 40x for CD-R and 24x for CD-RW. With the DVD "plus" format, you'll enjoy full compatibility with most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives.
DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. It's perfect for making your own DVD movies and transferring home videotapes to DVD.
The GSA-5163D's 2 MB buffer uses SuperLink buffer-underrun error protection to ensure accurate burns every time. Supplied software consists of Ahead's Nero Express (CD/DVD recording software), Nero BackItUp (back-up software), Ahead's InCD (UDF packet-writing software), Cyberlink PowerProducer Gold2 (DVD authoring tool), and Cyberlink PowerDVD (DVD playback software). Burn fast, burn right with the LG GSA-5163D.
