Internal DVD writer with LightScribe
The Toshiba TS-H653 is a 16X SATA optical drive that writes dual-layer DVDs and supports LightScribe labelling. It fits a standard 5.25-inch bay and connects through a SATA interface. The unit is supplied new for desktop builders who need disc authoring and direct disc printing.
16X DVD±RW dual-layer capacity
At 16X speed the drive handles single and dual-layer DVD recording with enough headroom for video projects and data archiving. LightScribe adds label printing without extra media. The drive does not read or write Blu-ray discs, so buyers who need high-definition optical storage must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA connection on the TS-H653 work with my older motherboard that only has legacy IDE ports?
The TS-H653 uses a SATA interface, so it requires a motherboard with a SATA port; it will not connect directly to legacy IDE ports without an adapter.
How can I confirm the Lightscribe labelling feature is functioning correctly after installing the drive?
After installation, use compatible Lightscribe software to burn a test label onto a supported disc; a visible, high-contrast label confirms the feature is working.
