Portable DVD Writer for uMBP

[groove-agent]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to remove my optical drive and replace it with a second hard drive. So I'm shopping for a ultra-portable DVD writer that can hopefully read DVDs on battery power. A lightscribe would be nice, but not necessary. It would be great if it matched my uMBP in colour - if I may be superficial.

Thanks.

What about the Macbook Air Superdrive?

That slim enough for you? Even has lightscribe like you asked. Found it in 2 seconds with a simple google search.

I hear the macbook superdrive only works with the macbook air - something about specialized voltage requirements of the USB port.

Not bad. I could have just cold searched, but I usually like to start with recommendations from MBP owners since they have already used it with an Apple computer.
