Depends on the configuration u ordered I think. Also, check the manufactures' respective websites for the "real" specs (mine 9880 has the Toshiba lightscribe in it and I know I've been to their site and seen the specs there for it.)

Without knowing which device you are talking about, it is hard to tell. There are different specifications for READ/WRITE/REWRITE. Also the media that you are using may or may not be "friendly" to the device used to write them. Please let us know what the actual device and media are.

Toshiba drives are very very sensitive to the media. Even thought the E3 Works media may work well with other equipment, it does not mean that it will work well or even at all with the Toshiba drive. This goes for both DVD and CD media.

Try doing a google search on the drive and then try wading through some of that.
