LiteOn SDW-431SX

If you're looking for a easily portable DVD burner, or you're a mobile user whose notebook doesn't have a DVD burner option, then LiteOn's Dual format SDW-431SX should fit the bill nicely.

The unit weighs a meagre 600g including the diminutive power supply and is small enough to fit into a large pocket, including the power supply, so carrying it around presents no problem.

The SDW-431SX uses a USB2.0 interface, has a 2MB buffer and burns both DVD-R and DVD+R discs at 4X while the DVD-RW and DVD+RW performance is a slower 2X. It reads DVD-ROMs at 8X, while its CD/R/RW performance is rated at 24X 10X 24X.

Built into the SDW-431SX is Smart-Burn technology, which provides buffer underrun protection, and Smart-X technology, which provides stable audio CD, VCD and DVD playback as well as smooth data extraction.

Bundled with the drive is a copy of Sonic's MyDVD Suite and Cyberlink's PowerDVD, plus a disc in both the 4X DVD-R and DVD+R format.
