USB 2.0 Dual Format DVD RW Drive
The USB DVD Writer is an external DVD burner suitable for writing to a variety of CD and DVD disks. The DVD Burner is based on one of the best DVD Burners available, the LG GSA-H12N DVD Writer.
Versatility is the key
The DVD Rewriter supports all common DVD disk formats, including DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-DL. The fact that the USB2.0 DVD Writer is one of the few burners to support DVD-RAM accentuates its functionality. In addition, using the latest DVD Burner available, allows the USB2.0 writer to achieve very fast rewriting speeds. A brief overview of the writing speeds to different types of DVD Media will be indicative.
12x DVD-RAM write speed
16x for both DVD+R and DVD-R,
8x DVD+RW
6x, DVD-RW to

6x DVD-R DL
It burns CD’s too, and plays movies
Apart from burning DVDs, the external dual layer DVD Writer also burns CD-R/W's, plays DVD's and plays CD's, so it is a great replacement for a CD-R/W drive. And of course, being external, means that you can move it around.
Everything is supplied
The Storage Depot DVD Writer is supplied with a USB cable and an external mains power supply. Software for burning DVDs and CDs for PCs is also supplied. The only extra you need to supply is the media (DVD disks, CDRW media, etc.).
Attention
Burning DVDs takes up a lot of processing power. You computer should run Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. The processor must be at least 500Mhz and have 128MB of RAM.
Mac Users: Our unit does support Mac computers, running 10.x. However, you need to supply Toast burning software, as our unit is supplied with burning software for Windows based computers only. You can also use some free software from www.patchburn.de.
Because of the high amount of data throughput required when writing or playing DVD's, computers with a USB1 interface will be too slow to burn DVD's. You must have a USB2.0 port in order to burn DVD’s. You can however use this unit on a USB1.1 equipped computer to burn CD’s.
