Samsung has unveiled a new external DVD burner that is very thin and aimed at the netbook market. The DVD writer is available worldwide right now and has a very sleek and cool design that won an iF Product Award Design.

The optical drive is offered in seven colors and Samsung claims that it is 20% smaller and 25% lighter than conventional DVD writers. The writer will work with Mac and Windows.

Buffer Under Run technology is integrated to help prevent errors caused by write speeds faster than data transfer speeds and the drive allows PC multitasking. It can burn CD-RW at 24X and DVD-RW at 6x. The SE-S084D is available globally for $69.99.
