Additionally, there is added security with the password lock feature. This USB has a read speed of 7MB per second and a write speed of 5 MB per second.
Reaffirming its position as the global leader in optical storage drives, LG Electronics announces the availability of the security function added Super Multi DVD Rewriter in Saudi Arabia. LG's new Super Multi DVD Rewriter, featuring SecurDisc™ technology, meets the market's need for a high secure data protection and content access control when writing data in CD and DVD formats.
The groundbreaking "Super Multi Blue" Blu-ray Disc Rewriter and HD DVD-ROM Drive (GGW-H10N) is compatible with both Blu-ray Discs and HD-DVD formats. The Super Multi Blue drive is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD read/write and HD-DVD-ROM (read), offering consumers with the most universal unit available. The GGW-H10N model can record up to 50GB of data, equivalent up to 9 hours of high-definition video or 23 hours or standard definition video (on a dual layer 50GB BD-R/BD-RE recordable media). Surpassing the market standard, LG is providing a 4x recording speed of Blu-ray Discs, which means that it takes only 23-24 minutes to burn a full single layer BD-R disc (25GB), compared to 46-47 minutes with conventional 2x recording.
The core technologies of Super Multi Blue Drive are Optical Pickup* technology (which supports Blu-ray disc write/playback, HD DVD playback and DVD/CD write/playback), and the system controlling the Optical Pickup securely and effectively. (Optical Pickup is the device reading and storing data by converting the code of the light reflected by an optical disc to electric code.)All of these are LG's proprietary technologies.
