Samsung announced today its newest ultra-slim portable
DVD writer, the SE-218CB optical disc drive (ODD) with
a sleeker design and mobile size for Ultrabook users
on-the-go.
Featuring a compact size that is approximately 18
percent thinner, and 8 percent lighter than Samsung's
entry level DVD writer line-up, the SE-218CB is built
to accommodate the need for external ODDs. Measuring
148 x 14 x 143 mm, the SE-218CB has been designed to be
a companion for Ultrabooks users.
With its Smart Power Technology the drive's low-power
consumption and ability to connect using a single USB
port ensures users will have a flexible solution that
does not overly tax Ultrabook's battery while outside
the home or office. With the help of Samsung's Smart
Power Technology, SE-218CB can also act as a portable
hard disk drive for tablets with available USB
connections. Coupled with Samsung's AV Connectivity,
this ensures tablet users can now enjoy stored
multimedia content.
Along with its flexible connectivity options, the
SE-218CB is equipped with Smart Archive Technology to
safely store data. This feature offers a recording
quality that is optimized for DVDs used to store
content for an extended time. The technology follows
standard DVD formatting that is compatible with both
archival discs (ISO10995 standard) and qualified normal
discs.
This latest drive is engineered to be compatible with
all major operating systems including the new Windows 8
and latest Mac OS versions. Capable of reading and
writing files at a variety of speeds across different
data media types, the SE-218CB includes Buffer Under
Run technology to prevent errors.
The SE-218CB is available in various metallic finishes
and will be on display at the Samsung booth at CES
2013, taking place Jan. 8-11, 2013 in Las Vegas.
