SONY DRX-S70U-R by Kent Hunter
If you wish to burn DVDs with your Laptop, This is the right

unit to use.

It comes with NERO, DVD burning software and works fine.

Great Portable Drive. by S. Batson
Yes it would be nice to have this thing powered off the USB Port, but with a small device like the Acer Aspire One (which I also bought this for), it would not be practical. So far, I’ve only used it to watch some movies on the Acer, this worked great. I plan to use it as a backup/second DVD Drive with my other systems. Though I’ve not tested all features, I’ve not had any issues with it and it seems sturdy enough given it’s size.

HAS EXTERNAL POWER ADAPTER by David B. Feig
I bought this drive since it IS a sony and its SLIM LINE.

The key thing I did not notice? It REQUIRES an external power adapter.

I was planning on using this drive with my soon to be shipped (I hope) acer aspire one, but since it requires an external power adapter, its not nearly as useful as I would have thought.

SO please take note of this before you buy this…I will have to try it out with the acer before I make a final judgment, but in terms of storage and space, to take this WITH adapter on a trip with the acer and its adapter is already a lot more bulk than I would like..

but it looks real pretty!
