4.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Slim, Most Important...It's Portable!, March 3, 2008

By	Kevin T. Nguyen-tu "smilepak.com" (Chino, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been searching for a slim external drive and being portable. There are tons out there being external, a few claims to be slim. This Sony takes the cake! It is extremely light comprared to other external drive. Speed of burning isn't too bad. The only complain is it would be nice to be able to use USB power supply rather than having to carry the power block around as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Altermative to Macbook Air Superdrive, April 27, 2008

By	D. Collier (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This unit is only slightly larger than the Air's optional Superdrive and has all of same functionality but with one additional feature that can either be considered a plus or a minus: It is powered by an external power supply. Because of this feature, it can be plugged into a USB hub - unlike the Air's Superdrive which requires the modified USB port on the Air to run, and therefore monopolizes the only USB port present. Using the Sony, I can have my DVD drive, iPhone, a portable hard drive, and a media card reader plugged in simultaneously, which is quite important to me. As a bonus, the Sony's silver face and black case also blend with the Apple's design reasonably well, meaning that your desk will still look stylish!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony DRXS70U External Portable Slim-Line USB 2.0 DVD Drive, March 8, 2008

By	Ben Cheah (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product for a good price. It's small enough to fit in a laptop bag and carry around without even noticing. It is barely bigger than a CD, and less than half inch thick. The guys over at J&R
Music and Computer World were efficient and a reliable. They had quick service.
