THE SUPER MULTI BLUE ADVANTAGE

Super Multi Blue Compatibility

LG Super Multi Blue optical drives can read and write most type of disc formats, including DVD M-DISC and BDXL™, that are in the market today. This gives you the option to choose the media best suited for each task.

Blu-ray

Blu-ray Disc is the next generation in optical storage, offering

25GB and 50GB of storage capacity on a disc.

BDXL™

The BDXL format supports high-capacity Blu-ray discs (up to

128GB write-once discs) for users that need to store a large amount of data.

Serial ATA Techonology

Serial ATA is a 1.5Gbps evolutionary replacement for the Parallel

ATA physical storage interface used to connect storage devices, such as hard disks, DVD and CD rewriters to the PC motherboard.

Serial ATA is scalable, enables design of smaller PCs, and will allow future enhancements to the computing platform.

M-DISC (DVD)

Compared to other recordable DVDs on the market today, M-DISC offers superior reliability in data storage that provides the permanent optical data storage solution.
