The Pocket Series II offers choices of CD, DVD or Combo DVD/CDRW in the same small package as the original Pocket Series but at an amazingly affordable price. Unlike the original Pocket Series that features flexible interchangeable interface connection, this Pocket Series II comes built-in with the popular USB 2.0 interface. Designed to work in the latest Windows OS, Linux and Solaris 8, the drive can also be powered from most of the USB ports. The Pocket CD II, the DVD II and the Combo DVD/CDRW II are the perfect portable USB peripherals for many Notebook and Desktop computers.

Pros: It's light and small. Admittedly frail as a consequence, but very portable.
Cons: Worst customer service in the business!
First, Addonics claim that the device can be powered via USB is, well, questionable. It turns out that less than half the laptops on the market can support the amp-load required by the drive.
Second, and more importantly, Addonics customer support stinks. It's like dealing with pod-people. I tried to get them to replace my failed power transformer (the part failed after just two months use). And, put simply, they made it impossible. After round after round of emails and several unreturned phone messages, I gave up. Purchased and OEM replacement. Swore off the company. And committed to telling anyone who'd listen to avoid these clowns at all cost.
