DVD Multi drive
The full-size DVD Multi drive module lets you record data to rewritable CD/DVDs as
well as run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without using an adaptor.
An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the
computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows and the Slim
Select Bay indicator glows.
CAUTION: Check the Slim Select Bay indicator when you use the
DVD Multi drive. Do not press the eject button, disconnect a drive or
turn off the computer while the light is glowing. Doing so could damage
the CD/DVD or the drive.
NOTE: The read speed is slower at the center of a disc and faster at outer
edge.
