IO-DATA DVRP-U8XLE External USB CD/DVD Burner [Portable DVD Burning Solution For Notebooks]

Whilst the price of hard disk drives, whether internal or external, is
getting ever cheaper, there are those who may wish to burn data - such
as presentations, for example - directly onto optical disks to allow for
ease of dissemination, hence the need for highly portable optical disc
burners such as IO-DATA's new DVRP-U8XLE external USB CD/DVD burner.

The DVRP-U8XLE, which sports dimensions of 138 x 143 x 21mm and weighs a
mere 380g, offers the ease of USB connectivity, allowing for maximum
portability (the device utilises the USB port for power) and the
facility to connect the device to notebooks, as well as desktops, as and
when required and is capable of burning CD-R and DVD-R optical discs -
including double layer DVD discs - at up to x8 write speed or x4 in the
case of DVD DL discs.

No word as yet on unit pricing or availability though the product is
already listed on IO DATA's Japanese website so we expect news
concerning international availability and regional pricing to follow
soon and, needless to say, the moment such information is made available
to us we will update this post accordingly.
