Ultra-slim external DVD writer

The Lite-On EBAU108 is a 13.2mm thin external DVD writer weighing 250g, designed for mobile professionals who need optical media access without bulk. Its integrated USB cable eliminates separate cords, and USB bus power removes the need for an external adapter. Driver-free operation simplifies setup on modern laptops and tablets.

USB 2.0 interface limits

The drive connects via USB 2.0, capping sustained transfer rates well below the 24x CD and 8x DVD maximums listed. Real-world burns and reads will run slower than the rated speeds, especially on older ports or through unpowered hubs. Double-layer DVD media is supported, but write times reflect the bus constraint.

Portable build and connector implications

The 13.2mm chassis slips into a bag pocket, and the captive USB cable means nothing to lose or forget. USB bus power draws from the host, so very low-power ports may struggle during sustained writes. No mounting hardware is required; the drive sits on any flat surface. Buyers who need Blu-ray support or faster USB 3.0 throughput should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the EBAU108 over a thicker external DVD writer?

The EBAU108 measures 13.2 mm thick and weighs 250 g, making it the thinnest and lightest option for slipping into a bag without extra cables or a power adapter.

What does the 24x CD and 8x DVD rating actually deliver when I use the drive?

You can burn or rewrite CDs at up to 24x and DVDs at up to 8x, including double-layer media and DVD-RAM, all powered from a single USB port.

How does the USB 2.0 connection limit real-world performance?

The integrated USB 2.0 cable caps the interface at the standard USB 2.0 rate, so peak disc speeds are reached only when the bus can keep up.
