Just bear in mind that you'll probably need to devote two USB ports to power the drive. Just plug it into your laptop and you're good to go.
For starters, it's slim, sleek, and highly portable, measuring 5.7 inches x 0.8 inch x 5.6 inches and weighing just more than 10 ounces.Įven better, it's powered by USB, so there's no bulky AC adapter to bring along and no batteries to keep charged.
There's a lot to like about the SE-208AB/TSBS - and not just its sexy name. Uh, come to think of it, maybe you should start there. If Amazon happens to sell out (nah, that could never happen), Newegg also has it for $24.99 shipped - no cart padding required. (Not sure what else to throw in there? Try the Amazon Filler Item Finder.) Shipping is free if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber or you pad your cart by at least a penny.
Solution: while supplies last, Amazon has the Samsung SE-208AB/TSBS external DVD drive for $24.99. Heck, maybe you've got a PC that already has an optical drive, but it's busted. Problem: you just bought a MacBook, ultrabook, Netbook, or some other 'book that lacks an optical drive, and you need to install some disc-based software.
