write to HD DVD-R discs and standard DVD and CD discs.

interest in high-definition televisions and camcorders are spurring demand for
a high-definition experience across the entire PC and consumer electronics
ecosystem," said Scott Maccabe, vice president and general manager of

transitioning to a high-definition world because it is compatible with existing
DVD and CD technology. Our new rewritable drive will extend the functionality
of HD DVD as a tool for creating and enjoying digital content in the mobile PC
environment."
With an ATAPI interface and 8 MB buffer, the drive has the following
recording speeds: HD DVD-R SL 2x; HD DVD-R DL: 1x HD DVD-RW SL(a): 1x; HD
