Mediatech India Distribution Pvt Ltd has launched a DVD Writer, which it claims is the fastest in the world: LITEON LH-20A1P – 20x Super All Write CD / DVD Re-Writer.

This internal DVD writer for the PC uses ATAPI / E-IDE interface. It only takes around five minutes to backup 4.7 GB data on an excellent single layer 16X DVD+R or DVD-R media at 20x maximum recording speed.

LH-20A1P also has Smart-Write technology: Through this drive’s self-learning function, LH-20A1P will automatically detect and decide the optimal write strategy of DVD recordable media (DVD+R & DVD-R) for the best write quality. It saves time and trouble for data storage and blank media selection.

This Drive supports three DVD formats: DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW and DVD-RAM. LH-20A1P is able to rewrite certified DVD-RAM media at 12X maximum, write DVD+R DL (Double Layer) media and DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) media at 8X maximum, rewrite High-Speed DVD+RW at 8X maximum, rewrite High-Speed DVD-RW at 6X maximum, and read DVD-ROM media at 16X maximum.

The Drive can write CD-R media at 48X maximum, rewrite Ultra-Speed CD-RW media at 32X maximum, and read CD-ROM media at 48X maximum.

“Liteon has been a pioneer in Optical technology and has been the first to launch faster speeds since the time of CDRW, While the competition is just launching 18x DVDRW models, we decided to skip the same and launch Liteon’s 20x speed model keeping in mind Mediatech’s mission to bring performance products to India,” said Mediatech India Distribution Pvt Ltd managing director Piyush Chaterbhoj.

Liteon LH-20A1P retail pack includes three colour bezels (White, Black, Silver).
