Transcend intros portable CD/ DVD writer

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Transcend Information, Inc., a provider in storage and multimedia products, today introduced its first portable CD/DVD writer, which can be used for laptops and even netbook.

Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “As notebook computers become increasingly smaller and lighter, built-in CD or DVD drives and writers are often not included. Transcend’s new 8X slim portable CD/DVD writer was created specifically for use with compact notebooks.”

He said no external power adapter is needed, as the CD/DVD writer is entirely USB powered, drawing its electric power directly from the computer’s USB ports.

The CD/DVD writer comes bundled with a full-featured copy of the media writing software CyberLink Power2Go, and also includes a bonus 30-day trial version of CyberLink’s MediaShow, said a press release.
