External DVD-R/W + CD-R/W Burner - Portable USB 2.0 Drive

This fully portable DVD and CD burning drive is the simplest way to add optical disc burning capability to your existing desktop or notebook computer. Great news for those out there with older computers or those who have bought new netbooks or mini laptops only to find they don't have an optical drive to burn files and back up their system externally. This new slim, lightweight and durable form-factor drive will mean you can easily carry it around and you'll barely notice it in your notebook bag. This is a simple plug and play device for Windows computers that reads and writes all of todays DVD and CD disc types. To use this drive, simply plug in the supplied USB cable and it'll power up and it's ready to go. As a smartly designed additional feature, an external power supply is also included for the drive should you find that too many USB devices have reduced your computers speed. Don't lose your data by forgetting to back it up. Optical disks give you multiple gigabytes of storage at an unbelievably low price per disk. Just think how depressed you would be if you lost the last few years of digital pictures currently on your computer. And given the current tougher economy, why not stay home and treat yourself right on your next holiday by doing some upgrades to your existing equipment, with a little TLC, that existing computer can easily get another year of service for you.
