1. Introduction
This document describes TOSHIBA's SD-R6112 DVD-R/-RW Drive.
2. Features
This drive reads DVD CSS (Contents Scramble Systems) Disc.
This drive reads digital data stored on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and CD audio discs.
This drive read and records the digital data on DVD-R/-RW and CD-R/-RW discs.
This drive reads digital stored on DVD-ROM discs at maximum 8 times faster rotational speed.
This drive reads digital data stored on DVD-RAM discs at standard rotational speed (DVD-RAM Book Ver. 2.1).
This drive reads digital data stored on CD-ROM discs at maximum 24 times faster rotational speed.
This drive records (write once) digital data on CD-R disc at 4,16 times faster rotational speed.
This drive writes / rewrites digital data on CD-RW disc at 4 times faster rotational speed.
This drive writes / rewrites digital data on High-Speed CD-RW disc at 4,10 times faster rotational speed.
This drive records (write once) digital data on DVD-R disc at 1, 2 time rotational speed.
This drive writes / rewrites digital data on DVD-RW disc at 1 time rotational speed.
Featuring Buffer Underrun error protection technology.
This drive offers long life and durability because the disc is written / read by a LASER, thereby eliminating
physical contact with the disc.
This drive supports SFF-8020i of ATAPI (ATA Packet Interface ) spec. ,SFF-8090 Ver.5 (Mt.Fuji5) of DVD
Commands.
This drive shows a highest performance such as 60,000 hour MTBF.
This drive can be used in a vertical position or horizontal position.
This drive adopts RPC-II for its "Standard Specification Model".
Note:
DVD-ROM disc spec (DVD-ROM Book) defines 120 mm and 80 mm in diameter, single and dual layers
as recording layer structure and single and double sides as recording side.
Maximum storage capacities are 4.38 GBytes and 15.9 GBytes for single layer/single side and
dual layer/double side respectively. (1 GByte=2
30
Bytes)
DVD-RAM disc spec (DVD-RAM Book Version 2.1) defines 120 mm and 80 mm in diameter single and
double sides as recording side.
Maximum storage capacities are 4.38 GBytes (for single side) and 8.75 Gbytes for double side
respectively.
Due to these high capacity and high data transfer rate of 1352 KBytes/sec, DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM discs
are capable to store high quality and long duration MPEG-2 moving picture data. (1 KByte=2
10
Byte)

*1: All discs written in CD or DVD formats except CD-Audio disc, require additional specific application
software and/or hardware.
This drive referred in the specification is capable of reading these data formats. However, in order to
run applications that use these formats you must first have the required software and/or hardware.
*2: The Disc motor rotation speed according to the access rate and pattern of Host PC.
*3: Measured by performing multiple accesses which means reads of data blocks over whole area of the
media from 0 (h) block to 1E7725(h) (4.089 Billion Byte:87 % of total area) block more than 3000
times. Includes positioning, setting, latency time and ECC implementation time (if required).
