Hi!
Has anyone out there good/bad experiences with external DVD+-RW drives?
I think of getting a Philips USB one, so I can use it with my old firewireless PC and my macbook and because I have good experiences with the internal drives (I installed about 7 in friends'/family's PCs; one suddenly stopped reading/writing CDs, but was replaced for free)
The only affordable drives (<100 EUR) with both connections (firewire+USB) are from Plextor. Any known problems with macs?
I had a very short try on a BenQ, but returned it the same day because it would not work with any computer/media brand I tried it on. A friend however is completely satisfied with the same model.
Are there many advantages when using firewire?
Thanks for your help & greetings
Frederick
