This Sony DRX-S70U-R slim portable external DVD and CD rewritable drive is brand new in its original box. It did have a seal on the top flap but I wasn't positive if it was a true factory seal or not. So I opened the box to inspect the item. All of the cables are bundled tightly having obviously never been used. The manuals and software CD are in a taped closed plastic sleeve. The drive itself is in a foam pouch and is also in unused condition. Finished in sleek black with high-speed USB connectivity, this versatile optical drive delivers reliable plug-and-play performance for both laptops and desktop computers. It supports multi-format reading and burning across DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and CD-R/RW media at speeds up to 8x, backed by a 2 MB buffer memory for smooth data recording, disc burning, and file backups.

Note: All of the photos of the box were taken prior to opening it.
