You know Kip, after reading this review I think I like this better than my external that I have now. It slim design will take up less space with my laptop. I always wanted to try one of these slim drives. Great review. You touched on all the topics that were important to me.

The following looks like too much copy-paste from another review; I don't think this or any other slimline drive supports reading CDs at 48x:

Turbo Boost Function:

The default CD-R and CD-ROM read/write speed of the Sony DRX-S50U is 40x speed. With a single touch, you can activate the Turbo Boost function, to raise the read/write speed to 48x speed:

Insert a CD-R/CD-ROM disc into the drive
Press and hold the Eject button for five seconds.

I didn't find any mention of this drive being able to run powered only by USB, so I guess it needs the power adapter attached in order to operate?

Thanks for the review.

Good find

Actually this was an oversight of mine; I missed removing from the word doc before publishing. Thanks for the heads up, it is now corrected.
