Samsung
has recently publicized a new external optical drive claiming as the world’s
thinnest DVD writer at only 14mm in height since the drive is 18% thinner and
8% lighter than traditional DVD writers. This smart device has been
manufactured to supplement Intel’s Ultrabooks, which lack an optical drive.
The
slim external DVD writer SE-218BB employs the Smart Power Technology specially
designed by Samsung, letting it to connect through its single USB port
to power
up the drive and offer AV connectivity. It is compatible with nearly all the major
OSs, including Windows 7 and Macintosh and supposed to support Windows 8 as
well in future. The drive is capable of supporting Android 3.1(Honeycomb) or
later tablets, in addition to Ultrabook usage.
The
optical drive uses a conventional technology like buffer under-run prevention that’s
been around for years. This technology prevents from buffer under-run errors
which came across, when there is an interruption in the data flow during
burning of a CD or DVD that requires a constant stream of data, by storing the
incoming data into a buffer.
The
drive is capable of varying read and write speeds depending on the type of
media used: 24X CD-ROM, 24X CD-RW, 8X DVD±R recording, 5X DVD-RAM recording, 6X
DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 6X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording
and 6X DVD-RW recording.
Samsung
further climaxes that this drive is eco-friendly as it uses lead-free bonding
that eliminates harmful materials.
This extremely useful device is available at
only $59.99.
