Lite-On has officially announced its new line of external slim DVD writers. The eSAU108 and eSAU208 can be powered through a USB connectioin and are capable of 8x DVD±R, 6x DVD±R DL and 5x DVD-RAM writing speeds. The eSAU208 ups the ante even further with support for LightScribe.

Lite-On announces the introduction of a new generation external slim DVD writers. The eSAU208 is a fully featured, USB-powered, 8X slim DVD writer. A perfect solution for those users who are looking for a compact, stylish and portable DVD writer.
Mobility is an important aspect of the eSAU208. The drive can be powered through a USB connection instead of a traditional power adapter, so the mobile user does not longer needs to rely on a power socket to operate the DVD writer. The drive will consume its power directly from the notebook trough the USB cable. Even though the eSAU208 is USB powered, the retail pack still includes a power adaptor for those users who prefer to use a direct power source.
