I might not have the correct terminology. I originally ordered the Toshiba Samsung TS-L632 Internal DVD±RW LightScribe DVD±R DL IDE/PATA Slim Drive Burner for my Laptop but it was the wrong DVD ROM. It was IDE/PATA and I needed SATA. I returned this one. I then ordered the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities . The one I have is TS-L633M. This one came with LightScribe but was never mentioned in the description. When I did the review I might've done the wrong DVD ROM on the wrong item. I apologize if I did. I have the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities. It is a great DVD ROM. I hope I was of some help. I might not have the correct terminology.

Both. You can also burn lightscribe images as well. I've been happy with it.

I don't think it does. There is no mention of lightscribe in the installation/operation manual. Hope that this information will help you.

The other response to this question could be correct - my experience with Lightscribe software has produced marginal image quality, not saying that the technology hasn't improved, but for the time (typically 10-20 minutes per disk) and effort (not to mention early retirement of the laser) there are inkjet printers that do a better job printing color onto DVD's with white sided media. If your heart is set on Lightscribe, ask the other respondent (who said it doesn't work) if they were aware that the disk has to be flipped over so that the laser (on the bottom of the drive) can burn the artwork on the "top" emulsion side of the disk. Good luck!

Lightscribe software is free from the lightscribe website. This drive does not support lightscribe burning. Poor description.

The Pawtec website provides third-party drivers for lightscribe to be used with Pawtec products (google: lightscribe download pawtec). I have not used lightscribe so I cannot comment on how well these drivers work. Good luck.

On my Win7Pro machine, Windows did not recognize this as a LightScribe device. (And it is even an HP computer.) But, from the CD that came with the device, I loaded the drivers/Nero application and all is good. (I may have upgraded to newer versions of those, but I don't think so.)

I have never used the Lightscibe feature, but my recollection is that Lightscribe is part of the software that comes with the drive. Of course, you have to have Lightscribe enabled DVDs to use this feature.

Works for me. Are you using light scribe disks and turning them upside down when putting into the drive? Did you download the light scribe part of the software? I don't remember if that was automatic or had to be selected. If nothing works, contact Lite-On support.

Make sure you have a lightscribe program on your computer. I had windows 7 and upgraded recently to 8.1 and it works with both. Also make sure the discs are lightscribe discs. A way to test they will read the lightscribe side is if you have itunes, once the drive reads that side my itunes asks what i want to do with a blank disc. So that's how i know it read that side- when it thinks it's a blank disc to write on.

Sorry, I don't know what "lightscribe" is. However, we haven't had any issues with these cd's at at all!The sound quality is excellent!

I went to Staples to find out. All their 500GB have the same new light pattern, so it's definitely not fake (why would Amazon sell fake stuff?). At Staples, the smaller drives have the older light pattern. I like the old one better, but this new one is not that bad so I decided to keep it, since I got it at a really good price.

If the C drive came before the B one, then why does Amazon marked the C one as "the newer model"?**so...the software of both are the same. i should buy the the B one (THIS one), right?

I am not sure, however HP started the technology but does not support it any longer. LG still manufacture drives with lightscribe although the technology is not very popular.

1. The one I bought did come with a CD containing a piece of software to help the user to update the firmware. However, when I clicked on it, it said "No update available". I did go to the manufacturer's site but it said there was no update either.2. I have never used LightScribe so I don't know if this drive supports it.
