Daily gear deal – Samsung portable DVD drive for $50

Today’s daily gear deal is perfect for Netbook owners – by now you’ll have realized that your Netbook does not come with a DVD drive, and that in fact, no Netbook on the market is equipped with one.

That is all fine, until you run into a situation where you really need to get something off a disc, or have to reinstall one of your programs.

This Samsung slim-line DVD recorder is powered using the USB ports on your machine, and can read (and record) on CD’s and DVD’s. It even comes complete with the highly rated NERO disc burning suite.

The retail price is currently $59.99, but when you pop on over to Newegg.com and add promotional code EMCLSMN65 during the checkout process, it’ll take $10 off, bringing this drive down to just $49.99. To make the deal even sweeter, Newegg will ship it for free!
