Setsu Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Since the only drive I have, Matshita, has failed me, I need suggestions on a new drive. From the looks of it people on this forum seem to suggest pioneer drives, but I'm still not sure which model to get. I'd prefer an external burner, but I don't know if these generally suck compaired to the internal ones. Any suggestions are welcome since I know very little on optical drives.

Cynthia Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Do you have a lap top or regular computer? External ones are in general internal ones with a box around itself. The problematic ones are the half height ones you see in lap top computers. Full heights seems to work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both actually, but still would prefer an external one since the IDE cables are all used up. So would the best thing to do be to get a internal drive and insert it in some sort of USB box?

majinsoftware Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Iv been using a LG GSA-E60L and its quite a good external drive. Basiclly its a h55L inside a external case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for a nice/good internal IDE burner and put in a USB box. If you then want to replace the burner in the future you still have the box.

But does anyone actually have a suggested model? I'm not so sure on LG, I think I'll stick with pioneer since it has pretty good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
