Ultra-slim portable Blu-ray writer

The Lite-On EB1 is an external USB 3.0 drive that reads and writes Blu-ray, DVD and CD media. Its ultra-thin, piano-black chassis is USB-powered, so no separate adaptor is required. The drive supports 4K UHD Blu-ray playback on systems that meet the minimum specification. Plug-and-play operation works on both Windows and macOS.

Suits mobile users who need disc access

Travellers and laptop owners gain BD-R, DVD±R and CD-R burning in a cable-only package. Smart Burn technology adjusts write strategy per disc for consistent quality. Buyers who need an internal drive, multi-drive duplication or a different physical interface should consider other form factors.

6× BD-R write speed

The drive writes single and dual-layer BD-R at 6×, DVD±R at 8× and CD-R at 24×. Read access times are 220 ms for BD-ROM, 190 ms for DVD-ROM and 180 ms for CD-ROM with a 4 MB cache. This single speed figure decides whether the EB1 matches your archival or playback workflow.

Questions about this item

Will the EB1 work with my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

The drive uses a USB 3.0 interface and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though maximum read and write speeds will be limited by the slower bus.

How can I verify the EB1 is reading a Blu-ray disc at its rated 6X speed after I connect it?

The BD-ROM access time is specified at 220 ms; disc-burning software typically reports the active read speed, which should reach 6X for BD-ROM media.

Does the EB1 package include a USB cable, or do I need to buy one separately?

A USB 3.0 cable is included in the box; the drive is bus-powered so no external power adapter is required.
