While portable hard drives are getting cheaper and cheaper by the day when it comes to data storage, there is always the convenience of a DVD burner as you pass a few GBs worth of data to a friend for keepsake (mostly videos). For folks rocking to a notebook without an optical drive, perhaps the IO-DATA DVRP-U8XLE DVD Burner could be considered the next time you drop by your local computer store? This USB-powered DVD dual-layer burner comes with 4x burning speed for DL discs while standard DVD-R media can be burned at 8x speed. It is also highly portable, measuring a mere 138mm x 143mm x 21mm and tipping the scales at 380 grams.
