Ritek isn't kidding when they call the TOPY Mini Writer "the world's smallest portable writer." Measuring only 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 2 cm, the drive can easily fit in a pocket, purse or laptop bag. Made of a silver colored plastic, the Mini Writer is also very lightweight. According to Ritek, the drive weighs in at only 76g.

The Mini Writer has not one or two, but four LED's. The two LED's on the top light up red when the drive is powered on. The two on the bottom light up a bright blue whenever it is reading or writing. The drive's eject button is located right in the middle of the LED's. If you look at the bottom of the drive, you can see that it has four small rubber feet to prevent it from sliding around when placed on a flat surface.

The front and back of the Mini Writer aren't as exciting looking. On the front, you can see the drive's media door. When inserting a DataPlay disc, you'll want to put the end with the metal cover in first. On the rear, you have the Mini Writer's USB 2.0 interface and DC-In port. I'm not really sure why Ritek included the DC-In port as the drive is powered off of the USB bus.
