BCNorwich Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks for your reply. In that case could you suggest a reliable device? I would like to mainly store music and thousands of photos with the occasional video. Regards Bernard
LOCOENG Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 If you are a Pioneer fan, then I'd suggest a DVR-115D as a replacement
BCNorwich Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 No I'm not a Pioneer fan, that device was put in the computer by the retailer. Never have been able to use it properly so I want something anything that will work properly and be reliable. i.e When I next want to use it maybe in a months time it'll still work. Regards Bernard
