Imagine: this new device for combined BD reading and DVD/CD reading/recording is only 12.7 mm high and weighs in at only 160 grams. Its compact cabinet houses leading technology including a comfortable slot-in mechanism. However, the minimized physical dimensions of this slim virtuoso shouldn’t fool you when it comes to sheer efficiency. It reads BDs with up to 2x speed and handles DVDs/CDs with a maximum of 8x/24x. It achieves 8x/16x if you want to record on DVD-R/CD-R media. And it handles all other major DVD formats equally well and conveniently.
