Pioneer has just announced a new ultra-slim external DVD burner that plugs in via a USB port and burns single layer DVDs at 8x speed and dual-layer discs at 6x. Calling the DVR-XD09 “ultra-slim” is pretty accurate, since the entire drive is hardly larger than a regular CD jewel case. Weighing half a pound, the drive is also capable of burning dual-layer RW discs and CD-RW discs at a 24x clip.

The DVR-XD09 will be out by August for $80.
