Hi, looking for a decent external cd/dvd re-writer but not too sure what make / price I should be paying. Could anybody offer any recommendations ??

thanks in advance !!

go to ebuyer.com and do a search for them and rank in price order. This should give you a clear indication. Ebuyer themselves have competitive pricing.

get a ide cable too usb 2.0 about a tenner ,.. and buy a internal drive it will cost u less then a external ,.. and u'll get a faster drive i.e value for money,.. now thats money saving

( internal )
NEC 3540A 16x16x4 DVD±RW Dual Layer DVD- 31£ ish

ide cable too usb 2.0 10£ ish

(external)
FREECOM FX-50 DVD+/-RW 16x Double Layer U&F 125£ ish
this burns DVD-r at 8x so its slower then the NEC 3540A which burns DVD-r at 16x


Note: USB 2.0 has a raw data rate at 480Mbps

also do ur howework if this is the right setup for you
