[November 11, 2009] PLDS: The Fastest External DVD Writer in the World - Lite-On Launch New eHAU324 24x External DVD Writer Tweet Nov 11, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Lite-On have today announced the launch of the new eHAU324 24X external DVD writer - the fastest available. The eHAU324 DVD writer will be available this month for GBP58 SRP. With incredibly fast writing speeds and SmartErase technology, it provides users with a secure, fast and efficient way to copy and backup data, pictures and media. Key Features: * 24x - the fastest external DVD writer in the world * SmartErase for secure disc disposal * Stylish black and white design * GBP58 SRP The fastest external DVD writer in the world: The eHAU324 writes DVD discs at a top speed of 24x - the fastest writing speed available by any external DVD writer. Such lightening speeds means users can stay more efficient and productive with the ability to backup and copy data to discs without waiting around. SmartErase technology provides ultimate security: When discarding unwanted discs, many users tend to scratch or break the disc and simply throw it into the bin - without realising that some of the data could still be deciphered. The eHAU324 integrates the patented Lite-On technology 'SmartErase', which allows users to permanently destroy discs (including non-rewrite formats) by overwriting all existing data with meaningless characters and rendering the disc unreadable by any means. Using SmartErase gives users peace of mind that any personal and confidential data is completely secure and safe from unauthorised access, even after disposal. Stylish design will fit in at home or in the office: The eHAU324 drive has a modern black and white casing design which blends seamlessly with other computing equipment to complement any modern home or office. Pricing & Availability: The eHAU324 will be priced at GBP58 SRP and will be available to buy from a selection of high street and online retailers from this month onwards.
