Description:
If you need an optical drive for your notebook, you've come to the right place. The Sony CRX85A/A1 External Cardbus DVD/CD-RW Drive is the perfect accessory for those with a Cardbus-equipped portable computer but no internal CD and/or DVD drive. Merely plug the unit's PCMCIA card interface into your notebook or laptop, then sit back and burn audio CDs and data discs or enjoy your favorite music CD or DVD movie. Featuring solid write speeds of 20X (CD-RW recording) and 8X (CD-R recording) and sufficient read speeds of 24X (CD playback) and 8X (DVD playback), the Sony CRX85A/A1 will meet the performance needs of the vast majority of notebook users. Rather than residing inside your notebook, the Sony CRX85A/A1 attaches externally for quick disengagement and a lighter load on those long road trips. And if you do want to take it with you, you can easily do so. Measuring just 5.5 by 5.27 by 2.07 inches, weighing a mere 8 oz, and sporting a futuristic metallic housing, the unit is both effortlessly portable and attractive. The Sony CRX85A/A1 ships with oodles of software too, including CD burning and data backup utilities, photo editing tools, CyberLink's respected PowerDVD DVD player and Music Match Jukebox. It's also equipped with an impressive 8 MB buffer to guard against recording interruptions and a low 150 ms access time for fast retrieval of your media and data files.
