Plextor comes out with their new drive to show that they still have some love left for DVDs. The drive measures a scant 1.6cm (just over 1/2 inch) and weighs a miniscule 250g (1/2 lb) but is feature packed to handle all the usual media, including dual layer, that consumers expect from such devices. Aimed at the laptop market and powered by a USB 2.0 interface, the device does not require it's own power source since it runs off the bus, thus making portability it's top priority.
Plextor has not disclosed pricing on this mini-burner but says expect it to hit their dealer floors by October.
