Comments about Samsung SE-SO84D Ultra-Slim External DVD Writer (White):
This was just what the doctor ordered for my new mac mini from which Apple
deleted the disc drive. Small footprint and reasonable price make this
the perfect add on for reading and burning everything except Blu-Ray.
No downside yet. A slick bargain for the price.

A nice, small and sleek DVD writer. Software was easy to install and use. Have used it on my new netbook and an old desktop with XP because my DVD drive is not working on it. Saved me paying to repair and old PC.
