The compact and portable Samsung SE-S084F Slim External DVD-Writer (White) is an ideal travel partner to your notebook or netbook. Not only does the SE-S084F fit in the palm of your hand, it's also lightweight and bus-powered. The high-speed USB 2.0 interface is used simultaneously for data transfer and as a power supply, which avails users who desire to write DVDs and CDs on-the-go. If you're on a train or in the park, you can burn a DVD just as easily as you would from your office.
Besides its portability, the SE-S084F also has several other advantageous features. Speed Adjustment technology, Double OPC technology and Tilt Actuator Compensation are all available. Pursuing an eco-friendly platform, Samsung designed the SE-S084F without harmful materials like lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, PBBs and PBDE. The drive also benefits from Buffer Underrun technology, which prevents writing speed from exceeding transfer speed.
To stay up-to-date, the Slim External DVD Writer continually supports the latest firmware versions. It uses your Internet connection to automatically upgrade media. Even though the SE-S084F was engineered for ultra-compatibility with Windows 7, it can be used with Windows 2000, XP and Vista. It's also compatible with Mac OS and has even received Apple's official approval. Unfortunately, however, it's not currently compatible with Mac OS X Lion.
