Plextor today announces its new shape ultra-portable DVD writer. Measuring just 15.9mm high and weighing 250g, the pocket-sized PX-608CU is ideal for mobile laptop users and those requiring a stylish and compact unit to use anywhere.
With a newly-designed clamshell chassis, the PX-608CU promises high reliability and durability for long term operation.
The unit is USB 2.0 bus-powered for both maximum convenience and true plug-and-play usability (no need for an external power supply) - very handy for the mobile executive to burn CDs and DVDs on the move, or for home users to burn and back-up important data from multiple computers.

It also features lower power consumption, for example just 4.8 Watt during DVD-R 8x writing, and includes tilt adjustment - a new technology in OPU design.
Separately, Plextor is also announcing its slot-loading PX-608AL version which is designed to be built internally into laptops.
