The SHM-165H6S is an internal DVD+/- RW writer with dual-layer capabilities, integrating speeds up to 16x. Using LightScribe and Super AllWrite technologies, the drive writes to any media and users can use the writer to create labels for their discs too.

It supports both 8cm and 12cm disc of CD and DVD families. It costs £40.
