Slim and Compact for Easy Travel
The lightweight, compact design of the Samsung Portable Optical Disc Drive makes it easy to take the device with you wherever you go. The drive is a full 20 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than conventional DVD writers. At 2/5 by 5-7/10 by 6-7/10 inches (H x W x D), the drive is only slightly larger than a CD case. And it weighs less than 10 ounces, so it travels easily.
To power the Samsung Portable Optical Disc Drive, simply plug it into your computer's USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port. No AC adapter is required.
Connects to USB-Compatible TVs for Viewing Videos and Photos
Using an A/V connector, you can connect the Samsung Portable Optical Disc Drive to your TV and play videos and image files directly on your TV. (For use only on TVs with a USB port; check with the TV's manufacturer for compatibility).
Fast, Reliable Disc Burning
The Samsung Portable Optical Disc Drive is equipped with TruDirect technology, which delivers fast, easy, real-time recording from nearly any digital device directly to DVD.
TruDirect enables you to create DVDs and burn digital content through a PC without using a hard drive. Unlike other disc-burning software, TruDirect doesn't require empty space on your computer's hard drive to hold the file and backup. TruDirect also eliminates pre-mastering, multiplexing, and hard-drive buffering, so you can perform live-streaming recording.
In addition, the Samsung Portable Optical Disc Drive contains technology to prevent buffer underrun errors. As a result, disc burning is fast and reliable.

It supports the following disc formats: DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+R dual-layer, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-R dual-layer, DVD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-ROM/XA, CD-Audio, Video-CD, Photo CD, CD-I(FMV), and CD-Text.

i like to keep my reviews simple.
this dvd burner is simply perfect.
it's smaller than the previous model from Samsung. the touch open feature is quite nifty. very light and quiet when i burned a few dvd's. i've connected it to my PC & MacBook Air 11" with no problems on either one. this is a much better option over the Apple SuperDrive. the SuperDrive can ONLY be used on the MB Air's. it's more expensive than most external dvd burners. why would you want to get it?
Edited: i forgot to mention that i use this DVD burner for both my desktop and laptop. unfortunately on my laptop there are only 2 USB ports. one on each side. the MacBook Air is sort of limited in that area. in any case, the DVD burner WILL WORK with only one USB cable slot plugged in. i think it may run a bit slower if you are burning something though, which will probably be due to the power outage limit that USB ports have.
do yourself a favor and get this if you need an external burner. you won't regret it.

I've used this drive with a windows 7 desktop, Windows XP desktop, iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.5, and MacBook pro running Snow leopard 10.6.6. The drive works great, good speed, reliable use. I would say the most frustrating part of this product is that it has no power-cord and requires two USB ports to operate. occasionally it will (randomly it seems) work with only one USB port, but I have only seen that on occasion. I am very disappointed with this part of the drive, however aside from that it has worked flawlessly. I've burned DVD at full speed in both Windows 7 and Mac OS X. It is compact, and requires very little to setup, simply just plugin and use. When I installed this product using the discs that came with it in Windows 7 it brought me into this very confusing application that claimed I needed a firmware update, however when I checked on the website it said I did not.
conclusion
It's a solid product that works well under most operating systems. Be prepared to surrender TWO USB ports to it though.

I bought this for use with my new MacBook Air and my home server
Things I like:
1. Very compact. About a size of a double cd case
2. Very quiet for such a compact drive. Just a bit noisier than my internal dvd drive.
3. Requires only one usb port. Some drives need 2 usb ports, but this one runs fine on just one.
4. Plug and play. No drivers needed. Works great on Mac and PC.
5. A steal at $40 shipped
Things I don't like so much:
1. The small form factor is cool, but the black version looks and feels plastic. I'm not saying that it's flimsy, because it's not. However, next to my new Mac Air, it looks and feels kinda cheap
2. The soft touch eject doesn't work on Mac. You have to drag the icon to eject.
3. The Nero 9 software works with PC only.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tiny, simple dvd drive that works with both Mac and PC.
