Lite-On drives for burning and erasing

The best solution before for those who wanted to destroy CDs with sensitive data on them was to put them through a special shredder or to break them by hand. Four new DVD burners from Drive specialist Lite-On, the iHAP322, iHAP422, iHAS322 and iHAS422, feature the SmartErase function, meaning that confidential data can be erased directly in the unit.

This feature is just as evident as it is simple – the disc is overwritten with random data, making the original content undecipherable. SmartErase runs on the supplied Nero 7 Essentials software and has 2 operating modes – Quick and Full Erase. The faster option overwrites the CD’s lead-in making it unusable for the normal user, but experts can access the data. The full erase mode deletes the disc’s content bit by bit.

The new DVD burners can work with both CD-R and Dual Layer DVD±R with up to 22x writing speed. They are available for both parallel and Serial ATA – the P or the S in the model name denote which model is for which. The iHAP422 and iHAS422 models also have LightScribe for writing directly on compatible CDs. These DVD burners should be out in September and October, the price is not yet known.
