DVD Super Multi drive
The full-size DVD Super Multi drive module lets you record data to writable 
CD/DVDs as well as run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") for Tray type, 
12 cm (4.72") for Slot type CD/DVDs without using an adaptor.
Use only round standard (12cm) discs with this slot-loading optical drive. 
Any other size or shape disc may not be able to be removed from the slot 
and may damage the system as well as the disc.
The read speed is slower at the centre of a disc and faster at the outer edge.
