Your ultrabook or laptop doesn't have a disc drive and you need to burn a DVD for a client presentation or rip a CD to your library. This Verbatim external slimline writer plugs into USB, no external power brick required. Write DVDs at 8x and CDs at 24x. It's compact enough to live in the same bag as your laptop. The box includes a mini USB Y-cable for older machines that can't drive an optical device from a single port – in practice you'll likely need both USB connectors plugged in when burning, though reading may work on one. M-Disc Ready, so if you want archival discs that outlast the drive itself, you're covered. Nero Burn & Archive software included for Windows
