Pioneer DVR-XD09 DVD/CD burner

Love toting around a netbook but are disappointed with the fact that it does not come with any form of optical drive, leaving you to rely on USB flash drives to transfer data instead? Pioneer aims to help you out with their DVR-XD09 DVD/CD burner which is described as the “industry’s most compact design to date”. It tips the scales at around 8 ounces and measures a wee bit larger than the usual music CD jewel case. Features of the Pioneer DVR-XD09 include :-

• USB 2.0 interface
• Supports 8X write/read for DVD-/+R SL
• Supports 6x write/8x read for DVD-/+R DL
• Supports 6x write/8x read for DVD-/+RW SL
• Supports 8x read for DVD-ROM SL
• Supports 5x write/read for DVD-RAM
• Supports 24x write/read for CD-R/CD-RW

Expect to pick up the DVR-XD09 sometime next month for $79.99.
