Lite-On announce slim external DVD rewriter

Lite-On recently announced the introduction of a new external slim DVD writer. The eSAU208 is a full featured, USB-powered, 8X slim DVD writer, ideal for users looking for a compact portable DVD writer.

Mobility and flexibility are important aspects of the eSAU208. The drive can be powered in different ways. A standard power adaptor, bundled with the drive, can be used as a power source. It is also possible to power the eSAU208 directly from a PC or notebook through a USB cable, which uses either one or two USB ports of the computer. A USB cable that is suitable for both options comes bundled with the drive. Writing speeds of the eSAU208 are 8X for DVD±R and DVD+RW, 6X for DVD±R DL and DVD-RW, 5X for DVD-RAM and 24X for CD-R(W).

Reading speeds are 8X for DVD-ROM and 24X for CD-ROM. For some notebooks where lower energy consumption is required, the eSAU208 provides power saving mode. To save energy and/or to operate the drive more efficiently on specific low powered notebooks, writing and reading speeds will be reduced by approximately 40 to 60%, depending on the media format.

The eSAU208 is available in two colors schemes, a black & white design and a burgundy model. Specifications of both versions are exactly the same and includes LightScribe direct disc labeling technology.
