LG to offer GH22 -- 22X DVD Burner

LG will be offering up a nice and fast DVD burning solution to consumers with the GH22, which offers a 22X recording speed capable of writing a full DVD disc in four and a half minutes. The announcement follows Samsung's SH-S223 DVD burner which is scheduled to arrive in summer this year, also offering DVD writing speeds up to 22X.

Specifically, the GH22 will write DVD+R and DVD-R discs at 22X, DVD+RW DL at 16X, DVD-R DL and 12X and DVD-RAM at 12X. It provides 2MB memory buffer and buffer underun protection for recording safety. The burner comes with support for Lightscribe technology, enabling the user to burn on professional-looking labels to the disc.



SecurDisc technology is also included providing support for password-protected discs and content, data encryption, data reliability advancements and data integrity checks. It uses the E-IDE interface to connect to the motherboard.
