It's okay if you are on a laptop or nettop, but there is no way this cable would get from the back of your tower PC under your desk to the top of the desk. Additionally desktop users are likely to be disappointed by the short cable. For users who don't have a USB 2.0 socket, the cable in the box allows you to plug it in to a secondary USB socket, although those sockets really need to be side-by-side. Powering the drive is via USB rather than an additional power adapter, something that is welcomed. We would have expected some reinforcing present. The top of the casing has considerable give to it, so much so that if you press down on the top of the drive you can't close the DVD tray. In fact, apart from that eject button, a single green status light, and the USB socket in the opposing spot on the rear of the drive, there are no other buttons or sockets.Ĭonsidering that you'll probably be expected to carry this around with you - it is slim after all - we are surprised by the overall build quality.
Presuming that by the mere fact that you've plugged the drive into your computer you want it on, there is no power button. What's the solution? Samsung believe its SE-S084 Super WriteMaster Slim External DVD drive is what you need.ĭesigned to be slim so it will slip into your bag easily, the external DVD drive is small, it's not "oh my god" small, but around the same size and thickness of a double CD case.īeing Samsung, this is a stylish affair with a gloss casing coming in a variety of colours from black to pink, ribbed side panels (presumably for extra pleasure) and a single eject button on the front of the disk tray. So you've bought a netbook, but guess what, it doesn't come with a CD or DVD drive does it.
