    It's a nice burner which is slot loading and supports Lightscribe and 8cm discs. I bought one and took the internals out to put in my notebook because I fancied a slot loader with those features. I haven't burnt many discs with it yet, but so far no problems.

    It will run at half speed (12x Cd / 4x DVD) using USB power. However, the burner's PSU is also very light.
