Lite-On eSAU108 External Slim DVD Writer

By Shane Baxtor (tweaktown.com)

We take the time to have a look at an external DVD drive from Lite-On. Is it something we can see people using? Introduction

An external drive that was running off USB 2.0 was never going to be as fast as an internal drive that used a SATA interface. But what does the slower speeds ultimately mean? - Installing applications is going to be one of the biggest things; it's ...

Lite-on ETDU108 slimline DVD drive for netbooks

By Nick Hawkesmoor (reghardware.co.uk)

Cheap, cheerful add-on for netbooks and optical drive-less laptops. But don't forget, it doesn't burn discs.

Lite-on's ETDU108 isn't a bad little drive and it's cheap enough not to trouble the netbook buyer's budget - and certainly not anyone who's opted for a thin'n'light notebook. But make sure before you buy that you really don't need to burn discs. ®

Lite-on eSAU208-16

By Simon Williams (reghardware.co.uk)

Slimline USB-powered DVD rewriter which supports pretty much every format and includes LightScribe labelling.

This is a neat, all-formats DVD rewriter with the bonus of LightScribe labelling, but without the bulk and extra cabling of a 5.25in device. Lite-Onââ'¬â"¢s eSAU208-16 shows a fair turn of speed for a drive based on laptop technology and would be an ...

Works Just Fine

By CompDude (newegg.com)

If yours doesn't read any DVD's then it broke, duh!

It does what it is suppose to and very well. Plays all my DVD's just fine, I even used it to load windows 7 on my netbook

Hmmmm...

By AuraDave (newegg.com)

Well, silly me, I didn't completely read the description of this when purchasing. I 'ASSUMED' that since it came with Nero, that it was a writer. Why include that software if you can't burn with this? Strange. They should have bundled PowerDVD instead. Al...

Compact ; Awesome cable-integrated idea on bottom of unit ; Uses very little power (only one USB port required)

Does not write to anything, it's a reader ; Does not include DVD movie software ; Does not include a neoprene case
