More and more notebook manufacturers are removing optical drives from their devices to make them even thinner. Often, these notebooks replace bulky USB-A ports with slimmer and faster USB-C ports. However, CDs and DVDs are still among the most commonly used storage media, especially for archiving all important data. The external Verbatim Slimline CD/DVD burner with USB-C connection is the solution – this compact device is the perfect addition to your notebook, ultrabook, netbook, or even PC. It allows you to install software or create backups. The external Verbatim Slimline CD/DVD burner is barely larger than a DVD case and is powered via USB – no more bulky power adapters! The drive comes with Nero's Burn & Archive software, which includes numerous special features such as DiscSpan, MediaHome, and SecureDisc technology to help you successfully organize, burn, and archive your important files. The disc has a matte silver surface and is writable with a CD/DVD marker.
