Category Shopping | Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
For Mac or PC netbook or laptop owners who require an ultra-compact, high-performance external CD/DVD writer, the Samsung (SE-S084C/RSBN) External Slim DVD Writer is the obvious choice. Measuring less than an inch thick and weighing less than a pound, this USB-powered DVD writer offers superb portability and high-speed CD and DVD read and write functionality for both 8- and 12-centimeter disks. And with a sleek, glossy black surface design, the drive will complement any portable set-up.
Ultra-Slim Design Ideal for Netbook Users
Compatible with both Mac and PCs alike, the External Slim DVD Writer is designed specially for on-the-go netbook and laptop users. It weighs less than a pound and measures a mere 5.5 x 6.2 x .75 inches (WxLxH). It takes up about as much space as a few CD or DVD disks.
The External Slim DVD Writer is USB powered, which means you don’t have to carry any cumbersome power adapters or cords. Simply plug the drive into an available USB port on your computer, and you’re ready to go. It also features an easy-access tray loading drive with a manual eject button, which allows you to eject your disks even when the drive is powered off.
High-Performance, High-Speed Writing Abilities
Thanks to the drive’s Buffer Under Run Technology, you won’t suffer buffer under-run, which occurs in high-speed writing when the speed is faster than the data transfer. Because of this technology, you can continue to multi-task on your computer while the data is being written on the drive, thus improving your productivity. Buffer Under Run Technology also enables high-speed writing in low performance PCs.
The drive boasts many other performance-enhancing features, including including SAT (Speed Adjustment Technology); TAC (Tilt Actuator Compensation) and Double OPC (Optimum Power Control). In addition, Magic Speed and ABS (Automatic Ball Balancing System) technologies reduce vibration and noise.
The External Slim DVD Writer supports 8X write speeds for a wide array of DVD disks, including DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-ROM. It also supports DVD+R DL and DVD-RW at a 6X write speed, and DVD-RAM at 5X. For CD compatibility, the drive offers a 24X write speed for CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM.
Nero Software Suite Included
To enhance your CD and DVD burning capabilities, the External Slim DVD Writer comes with Nero Software Suite, which includes NERO Burning ROM, NERO Showtime, and PowerDVD. Integrated firmware offers automatic updates to keep the performance of the drive optimized.
