Lite On ESAU208-31 Smart Slim DVD Writer
Lite-On announces a new generation external slim DVD writers. The eSAU208 is a full featured, USB-powered, 8X slim DVD writer. A perfect solution for those users who are looking for a compact, stylish and portable DVD writer.

Mobility is an important aspect of the eSAU208. The drive can be powered through a USB connection instead of a traditional power adapter, so the mobile user no longer needs to rely on a power socket to operate the DVD writer. The drive will consume its power directly from the notebook through the USB cable. Even though the eSAU208 is USB powered, the retail pack still includes a power adaptor for those users who prefer to use a direct power source.

Writing speeds of the eSAU208 are 8X for DVD±R, 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 a “power saving mode”. Writing and reading speeds will be reduced by 40-60%, depending on the media format, in order to operate smoothly on these specific low powered notebooks.

I love the design of this product. It's very nice. I never used products from this brand before but thank God, it was a good choice. I love the USB powered feature.

The literature that comes with this is just an idiot sheet. Works straight out of the box as a burner, but trying to get the lightscribe to work is like pulling teeth. It comes with a free copy of Nero 7 but you have to download the lightscribe drivers from their site. But Nero never did recognize the lightscribe. I eventually got it to work using Sure Thing. Still you can't beat the price if you want a nice little light external burner.

Good instrument, bad Nero 7 that came with it. Couldn't get Nero to find LightScribe. I already had Nero 9, which works fine. I see the new models come with Nero 8; maybe 8 will work OK.
