The Sandberg USB Mini DVD Burner allows you to burn and read CDs and DVDs. This drive is the perfect addition to a computer without a CD drive or DVD burner. The drive is powered by a USB port on your computer, meaning you can use it on the go without having to search for a power source. Also works... well as a mobile DVD player for your netbook. No software needs to be installed, which means you can use the drive immediately.
