DjBR Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Hey guys, Long time, no see. My Sony Optiarc drive stands still strong on my system. I am not really burning anything anymore, except for a few CDs or DVDs ocasionally.But I do use the drive to extract audio from my purchased CDs, doing EAC and FLAC, bit perfect rips. However, I have seen this NZXT chassi, named S340 which blows away the ability to store 5 inchers. So I've been considering in acquiring this product from Lite On: http://www.liteonodd.com/en/dvd-external/item/dvdexternal/ebau108 An external DVD-RW, USB 2.0. From one thing I am still confused is why the datasheet/specs requires for a SATA port, since the interface is USB 2.0. To continue to extract my CDs in the pristine and fast way, should I: Get a CoolerMaster N300 with the bays and keep on the Optiarc... or Move to a NZXT and get an external DVD drive? What implications would it take? What would I lose in terms of audio extraction? Less speed? Less corrected errors ability? Do you guys ever believe that DVD-RW will eventually go away one day or is this particular case trying a game changer that's insane? Thank you for opinions!
