Due to the USB port, the drive requires no additional power supply and consumes little energy.
The included Y-cable ensures the power supply, this in most cases, enough USB slot.
For rare cases, or if the USB port provides enough power, (2 USB slot add. Required), the error-free operation via the Y-cable to be ensured.
If you want to operate the unit mainly to net or notebook, as I complained in other reviews to see short USB cable rather than advantage. So you have less salad on the desk! For other applications simply use a standard mini-USB cable.
All around a great part in a beautiful appearance, the previously delivers absolutely reliable firing results.
The supplied Nero 10 in the Light version is a free treat.
I am very satisfied, I can only recommend.
