Additionally, the drive can record on 8.5 GB DVD+/-R Double/Dual layer and 4.7 GB DVD-RW discs at 6X speeds, DVD+RW at 8X, DVD-RAM at 5X and CD-R/RW at 24X. The drive comes in a retail package bundled with the Nero 9 DVD/CD mastering software suite and is compatible with Windows 7. Connectivity is a snap with a Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) digital interface.

The AD-7260S internal DVD/CD recordable drive continues to provide the same 24X max speed and high quality performance set by the predecessor model AD-7240S, which was the world’s first 24X speed half height DVD-RW drive. The AD-7260S is a conservatively priced speed demon at only $28.99 on newegg, and supports up to 24X max DVD+/-R recording, 12X DVD+/-R Double/Dual layer recording, 12X DVD-RAM, and 48X CD-R performance. The latest auto write strategies and proven buffer under-run protection enhance the reputation of optimal quality and reliability. The AD-7260S is available with black and beige bezel colors. LightScribe direct labeling technology is also available with this drive that allows creation of personalized, professional looking labels using LightScribe DVD/CD media (available separately).
