If, like me you rarely use an internal optical drive now in any of your system builds, then the product we are looking at today will be of particular interest. The Asus Extreme Slim DVD-RW Drive is only 14mm thick and takes all its power from the USB ports – meaning it will be easy to move between machines without power adapter restrictions. Did we mention that this is the slimmest model available on the market today ?

The ESEDRW-08-H (or ‘Kate Moss’ as we call it in the Kitguru labs) extends full DVD read and write data and content handling to any Windows PC, being especially useful to people with netbooks and those computers which aren’t supplied with an optical drive.
