Looking for portable USB DVD burner

I am looking for a small portable DVD burner that shouldn't need a PSU. Writing speeds are not that important to me as I understand that all PSU-less drives use notebook units. A nice plus would be LightScribe support as I don't have a CD label printer around me on the go.

So far, I found the LG GP-08LU10 and the Samsung SE-T084M Slim. What do you think is the better one when it comes to burn quality? My parents' notebook has an LG burner and I was always happy with the quality of the burns. My PC has a Samsung unit that also never had problems.

If you can recommend any other drive, feel free to do so.

Thanks.

Do these drives really burn discs without a power supply?

I know that I used a Freecom drive and it worked well. But it was not a burner. Here is their current model.
