Hi guys,

Here is another choice for you: Sensonic TS100 External DVD Writer, superslim and ultra lightweight.




Adopting contemporary trend using slot-in drive method where optical disc is slot in-out instead of the conventional tray type.
This brings many design benefits, apart from making the drive extremely slim - working in tight space. An added protection as tray type is easily damaged when the disc tray is push-in or pull-out by brute force.

It accepts 3” mini disc apart from the usual 5” size. Built-in intelligent anti-jam feature negate the possibility of disc being stuck inside the drive.
The housing is made of high gloss piano finishing grade ABS plastic where the surface is aesthetically eye pleasing and not easily scratched.
Many new technologies are deployed to boost read/write reliability notably liquid crystal compensator, performance adjustment mode and superior hardware mechanism.

Multi-format ensures wide compatibility of reading almost any type of optical media like photo CD, DVD Ram, CD-text and etc. Dual-layer recording doubles disc recording capacity.

Drive operation is extremely silent and hardly audible even when you are burning a disc with the adoption of quite drive technology.
Take one today and it would be a great companion - your Netbook and mobile lifestyle.

Superior mechanism - industry leading lightest optical pick-up arm of 0.1g only. Lightweight enables agile arm movement and reduce power consumption.

Turbo Mode/Quiet Mode - drive is very noisy if the disc is constantly rotating at high speed. During audio/video playback, rotating speed is automatically tuned down as write mode does not require high speed disc rotation.

okay. added u at msn hopefully to discuss more bout the optical drive
i think sony is quite nice
wait and see how . goin to lowyat to find out next month. thanks yea

lowyat plza i saw only liteon, samsung, panasonic for slim type. czone got buffalo , but duno is slim or not, u can try at czone check first.

okay, thanks bro. czone in lowyat plaza?
what about online stores? any tat sell the model you recommend? u selling?

i dun have slim model.

I have a slim dvd drive from a laptop...which has a slim ATAPI connector.

I'm thinking of utilizing this dvd drive, fixing it into a desktop...hence requiring a converter.

anyone knows anyone or where is this connector being sold in malaysia?

thanks in advance.

today went to lowyat and gotten myself an external odd, lg gp08 lite rm189.
its much heavier than i expected and it is bigger and fatter than expected as well. to me, its not really that portable. i guess sensonic ts100 model would be lighter and thinner and smaller.
furthermore, the lg odd is noisy and vibrates very hard when playing dvd. you can basically feel your table vibrating and hear the "doodoodoo" sound produced

anyways, rating it a 6/10. for the size factor, noise factor and vibration factor.
