What year were these current lightscribe burners made?

I have no real idea, but judging by some things in the documentation, it was before 2011. I removed the original disc drive from the computer and swapped the LightScribe drive into the computer and it functions as it should.

I am not sure if I understand but LightScribe is no longer supported and it may be a discounted item.

This is a Lite-On LightScribe 24X SATA DVD+/-RW DUAL LAYER IHAS424-98. I do not believe that there is a revision B for the IHAS424-98. To be absolutely certain, I recommend you contact the manufacturer and verify that this is correct.

I am not sure, however HP started the technology but does not support it any longer. LG still manufacture drives with lightscribe although the technology is not very popular.

I purchased LG's Slim -External Super Multi DVD Rewritter last January. works perfectly, trouble free and interface is Identical to my previous internal burner. Finish images are as good as any lightscribe I have seen.Software that came with the unit was out of date, but LG's Tech Service provide updates, all was without incident. I strongly recommend this unit.

I use Nero 10 with the lightscribe software. And the lightscribe disc has to be flipped top side down to "burn" the label on the disc.

This is is a good Duplicator Control Unit. My old unit failed on a power failure. This will not do that. The user guide is #V6.2 I think it would work with any Lightscribe Burner. I used it on a Winpower Digital unit that will copy 3 discs Be careful that you order the correct unit for the number of disc it needs to support. I am going to order another one in a few days to repair another Hope this helps Fred Unit that failed on a power outage.

As long as your computer uses SATA connections it should be compatible. It says it burns at 24 X speed. It does not have lightscribe which allows you to print labels directly to the CD/DVD, using discs that are made for lightscribe. As I said in my review I found this drive to be extremely noisy and was not impressed at all with it. You might want to consider another drive. Any cd/dvd with a sata connection should work, and if you're not using the lightscribe why pay extra for it.

I purchased an external burner...a Lenova....works very well...and it is relatively inexpensive...you will not be able to use a regular cd/dvd burner...you have to use a burner made for lightscribe...good luck

Well, this burner will work on almost all desktops. It will work as long as your PC supports SATA, as this is a SATA drive. This burner does not support lightscribe, but it will burn normal DVD and CD. This is a 24x drive, so I guess burning at 2.4x won't be a problem.

I believe they were manufactured in mid-late 2013....but they are the most current versions out on the market

No. 'Lightscribe' media is a specific beast and getting harder to find.I should note that you can still burn CD's and DVD's as you would with ANY modern burner; however the 'lightscribe' feature requires you to use 'lightscibe' media.

Not sure, however, super durable, light weight and worked great over single burner.

HP apparently abandoned support for LightScribe some time ago. I used CyberLink LabelPrint 2.5 which has a Lightscribe option and everything worked fine with the drive.

Not all TS-L632 are LightScribe units. My TS-L632D is not a lightscribe unit, but my TS-L632M is a lightscribe unit and was detected right away when the unit was installed.

From my research before ordering, it appears that the "v1" model of this drive had Lightscribe capability, while "v2" does not. There are a lot of complaints on various sellers websites from the transition period when folks ordered based on "v1" product descriptions and received "v2" drives.I ordered and received a "v2" drive, and it does not have any reference to Lightscribe anywhere on the box or case or in the manual. So, no; it does not currently have Lightscribe.

The other response to this question could be correct - my experience with Lightscribe software has produced marginal image quality, not saying that the technology hasn't improved, but for the time (typically 10-20 minutes per disk) and effort (not to mention early retirement of the laser) there are inkjet printers that do a better job printing color onto DVD's with white sided media. If your heart is set on Lightscribe, ask the other respondent (who said it doesn't work) if they were aware that the disk has to be flipped over so that the laser (on the bottom of the drive) can burn the artwork on the "top" emulsion side of the disk. Good luck!
