GAS-4120B, DVD±RW,CD±RW, IDE / ATAPI, 900g, white
The LG Super-Multi debuted in the Middle East at GITEX 2003 and has been well received in the region for its compatibility with three DVD formats, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW and DVD RAM and all CD formats. This is a global first since the DVD Forum established its two main complementary standards, DVD-R/RW and DVD-RAM.
Like any other LG models from the Super Multi family, the latest GSA-4120B has incredible 12X max DVD burn speed, and lets you read and record the less popular DVD-RAM media at 5X. The essence of DVD-RAM support is the data portability with consumer audiovisual equipment rather than PC data storage and archival requirements.
In case of a defect, the drive will write to another area on the disc, a defect on the disc does not stop the drive from writing and render the disc unusable.
Other features of the 12X Super Multi DVD Rewriter include 2MB buffer memory with buffer under run prevention technology, storage up to 4.7GB on a single DVD+R/+RW and DVD RAM disc and up to 8.5GB on a double layer DVD+R, and high speed host transfer. This is equivalent to more than seven times the amount of data accepted on a single CD-R and is ideal for back-ups of large data files. The GSA-4120B also features 2.4X dual-layer burning.
Standard procedure can be followed for installing the GSA-4120B internal drive. An audio cable is included with clear documentation in a five-language manual. Linux users can download the relevant drivers. The video manipulation suite handles video capture, file copying and editing, and burning of DVD-Video and VCD discs.
