They can make whatever color they want (although white never looks good on a non-apple product). Thing is, THEIR DESCRIPTION SPEC IS WRONG! There is no such thing as a 20X slimline drive, and when you look at their own media spec for DVD-R they only mention 8x write speed.
All optical drives require >800mAH therefore this drive breaks USB spec (which limits 500mAH).
The only way to do this without breaking spec and possibly shutting down your PC when you plug it in is this way (Li-Ion Battery integrated in for supplemental power) http://www.slidirect.com/product40-129.html
