We've just posted our review of Yamaha's external USB 2.0 burner: the stylish CRW70. If you're on the look for a compact high speed (12x8x24x) burner that can even playback MP3 discs and CD Audios make sure to read the entire review! Below is a snippet from the review:
Over the years, with the increase of laptop power, on-the-go users started to use external burners. Different solutions were available but none were compact, affordable and fast. External USB burners were very slow with a burning speed limited to 4x whereas internal burners easily reached 16x. External SCSI burners were a bit faster but required a generally expensive SCSI card. Yamaha, the well known Japanese brand, was the first manufacturer to announce and release a USB 2.0 external burner, the CRW70. The CRW70 can burn CD-R at the speed of 12x, CD-RW at 8x and read CDs at the record speed (for an external burner) of 24x. With an astonishing look, the CRW70 is quite slim, relatively fast and includes a killer feature: the ability to play MP3 discs, among other things!
