Another portable drive review, this time by CDRLabs, they have reviewed the portable Acer MiniRW CRW8824MM. The drive is able to connect trough USB and PCMCIA and is able to write and rewrite at 8 speed, it reads your CD's at a maximum of 24 speed.
The drive has Seamless Link buffer underrun protection and the CRW8824 shares many of the same features as Acer's other drives including their raw writing support and the ability to make copies of SafeDisc 2 protected CD's.
