Weighing a mere 8 ounces in a genuine metal housing, this slim, lightweight external CD/DVD/BD burner fits easily in a laptop bag, and allows users to read/write CD's, DVD's and Blu-ray discs any time, any place. And the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface offers data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0.For added convenience, the drive draws power from a USB port on your laptop or computer, though an AC adapter is included in case additional power is needed.
