LG Electronics Unveils Dual-Format Drives At CES 2007
LG Electronics introduced Super Multi optical storage drives featuring support for the next-generation DVD formats and security features.
These products include the 'Super Multi Blue' Blu-ray Disc Rewriter and HD DVD-ROM Drive (GGW-H10N) and the new Super Multi DVD Rewriter with Security Function featuring “SecurDisc” technology co-developed with Nero.
The GGW-H10N is compatible with both Blu-ray Discs and HD-DVD formats: Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD (read/write) and HD-DVD-ROM (read).
So, the GGW-H10N can record data on dual-layer 50GB BD-R/BD-RE recordable media at 4x recording speed (23-24 minutes to burn a full single layer 25GB BD-R disc).
The product will be released during the first quarter of 2007, priced under US $1,199.
The Super Multi Blue solution will also be available from LG Electronics as the dual-format disc player (model BH-100) in early February 2007 for the same price.
The second novelty is using the SecurDisc software co-developed with Nero to enable data protection and content access control when writing data on CD and DVD formats. It offers multiple features to protect a disc at the user and storage level:
- Password Encryption – Protects user data against unauthorized access through password protection
- Disc Creator Authentication – A digital signature is applied to all data to allow recipients to verify data authenticity
- Integrity Checker – Detects altered data through checksums to verify data integrity and readability
- Data Insurance – Increases data reliability through redundantly stored data
