The ARCHOS MiniCDRW is the ultimate, compact storage device, small and lightweight--just over 18 oz. (500 grams). Designed for high performance, the MiniCDRW rivals the reading speed of many CD-ROM drives on the market by reading at up to 24x, writing up to 8x, and rewriting at up to 4x. This provides you with recording capability of up to 3 CD-R or CD-RW in one hour! 

You can easily connect to virtually any PC notebook or desktop with a convenient USB or PC Card (your choice) interface cable included in the package. The MiniCDRW is 'Hot Swappable', with 'Plug and Play' convenience, to allow you to move quickly between different PC stations. So whether at home or on the move, you can efficiently record your own music, data, photo or video CDs.
