Product details

With the increasing trend towards slimmer, lighter notebooks and ultrabooks, many of these devices no longer come with optical drives. It is not surprising that many users miss the ability to play or burn CDs and DVDs. This DVD burner brings that capability back to you and is compact enough to easily fit in your laptop bag. Connection and power supply are handled through the same USB cable, so you don’t need an additional AC adapter. It reads, writes, and rewrites CDs and DVDs. Compatible with all notebooks. Connection and power supply via USB. Includes a 60 cm USB cable.
