LiteOn eTDU108 External Slim DVD ROM
Oct 9th, 2009 | By DavidThe outer package is cardboard, a very popular choice among many consumer products.


The front and back of the box details all of the features of the drive.

The side lists out the specifications.

Inside, the contents are protected by cardboard as well as plastic.

Included with the drive are the USB cable, instructions, and installation CD.


The drive itself is very light, and feels very hollow. Upon touch, it is apparent that most of the material is inexpensive plastic. I would be hesitant to throw this into a laptop bag, or into the pocket of a jacket due to the fragile feeling of this drive.
On top of the driver, there is a stop button you have to press before removing a disc. On the back, there is a groove where you can store the USB cable neatly.

The eTDU108 is a top loading drive, meaning that you flip open the cover and push the disc in by hand.

The USB port on the back is recessed which makes inserting the USB cable a little difficult and takes some getting used to.
Now that the drive is out of its box, let’s skim through the specifications.
