Introduction:
It's been a while since we've looked at an external DVDRW drive and today we are breaking the drought by bringing you a review of the PX-810UF DVDRW drive. This drive is a "Super Multi" drive - meaning it supports DVD-RAM as well as DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and CDRs. As mentioned this is an external unit and can run on virtually every current computer that has USB2.0 or Firewire. If you want to add a faster DVDRW drive to your laptop, your workstation or your own PC at home, this is a simple way to make it happen.
