Cheap External HD DVD Drive From Toshiba
Posted by Stephane Dion
What a nice surprise for HD DVD fans! Toshiba has started shipping the PA35-30U-1HD1, an external USB 2.0 HD DVD drive. It’s not even all that expensive, either, appearing on online stores like Newegg for $370.
The drive can also burn CDs and DVDs (single- and dual-layer). HD DVD speed is only 1x but you will get 4x to DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW, 16x to CD-R, 10x to CD-RW, 2.4x to DVD+R DL, 2x to DVD-R DL, and 3x to DVD-RAM.
The PA35 delivers 7.1 channels of hi-res audio.
The Blu-ray camp is going to be jealous about that one. At least for a while.
