LG GSA-E40L External DVD-RAM Burner

Take any desktop or laptop PC to new dimensions when you connect it up with the LG Electronics Lightscribe USB drive. This is the portable unit that lets you read and write to DVD and CD discs. You can write and rewrite to CD and DVD, including double-layer discs, giving you a massive capacity for data or video. Lightscribe technology is on board to have you laser-etching your own design as a label on the disc - no printer needed, the drive's intelligent laser does the work for you!
