There is a new external DVD burner in town, and it stands out from the rest of the crowd as it is completely bus-powered. This translates to lower burn speeds that could be frustrating when it comes to really large files, and you could be excused for prancing up and down the room while waiting to burn a 25GB dual layer DVD. The DVRP-UN8PL has its very own disc labeling
technology known as Labelflash that is equivalent to HP's LightScribe. This device has a burn speed of 2x when writing to DVD+R/RW DL and DVD-R/RW/DL when it is bus-powered, while using an AC adapter will increase burn speeds of DVD+-R DL to 4x, DVD+-R and DVD+RW to 8x, and DVD-RW to 6x.
Pros : Completely bus-powered
Cons : Low burn speeds
