In just a few days this is our second external slim DVD-RW drive. As I mentioned in the previous article with the ASUS Extreme Slim DVD-RW, over the past year there has been a big push amongst manufacturers to provide consumers with smaller portable computing solutions. The netbook is a fine example of this, giving fantastic functionality whilst on the move in such a compact manner has meant certain aspects of the machine has had to be sacrificed. No longer is there an optical drive, instead USB is the primary
means of transferring data.

Companies such as LiteOn have always been ambassadors for optical media. Being at the very forefront of CD, the DVD and now the BD media. Today we will be taking a look at an external slim DVD-RW drive named the LiteOn eSAU208.
