CD Burner Problem

[FthrJACK]

that drive is $300!!!

what a waste of cash!

a 52x 24x 52x CD-RW LITEON burner is $100 canadian dollars.

i also found a 48x 12x 48x LITE ON for $89 canadian dollars.

your nuts man, utterly nuts.

Man for 300 bucks you could get yourself a **** DVD-R..

For that kind of cash you could really avoid this...here in the stats they seel Lite-on 44x cd burnners for like 45 with shipping! you could buy like 6 of them be4 you would reach the proce of one of thoses burners..not to mention your going to need to install USB 2 on all the rigs which will coast you about 20 bucks a pop....seriously for that kind of cash you could install a network in your house and share the **** burner...theres alot of options here..you say that u dont have enuf room in your case..s*** get a new case and 4 burners and you would still be spending under 300

I told you guys when I started this post that it was $300!! What the hell am I supposed to get if I don't want an internal burner? BTW, you know those removable drives on the market, do they have something that you can plug in an internal removable burner, cuz if they do have that, that is probably what I'm gonna get...

This is USB 2.0. Does your Dell and your laptops support USB 2.0? If no. Then the speed will be knocked down, USB 1.1 limits speeds to 4x4x6. Otherwise, you have to install USB 2.0 controllers in the Dell to include your other PCs. Meaning you defeated your own purpose of having a fast burner within your home.

Do your friends laptops support 2.0? Good luck with old laptops. This drive requires a PII 300 or faster computer, 64MB RAM in the raw, and with WinXP it requires 128 MB RAM. It only works with Win98 and higher.

Is the Case robust - you gonna drop it? Do you have to carry it around in a suit case or will it fit in your backpack without weighing a ton. Alone it weighs 1.7 kg (drive only). Notebook, Burner, Cable, Software, Blank CDs, what else. All heavy stuff champ.

Looks good if all you want to do is move it between your home PCs. On the road it will look good but your going to need a mule or dumb blonde to carry it for you. Get a blonde for Christmas dude ... moBetta w00t

K, I have a laptop that is 600MHz with 192MB RAM with Windows XP Pro, so since you said that, I guess it would work with my laptop...I got my Dell at the end of May 2002, so do you think it should have it? It has 1.7GHz, 256MB RAM, Windows XP Pro...

BTW, how much did you say a new internal burner costs? I might buy a new one since my dad is giving me his old office server which has an extra two slots for CD drives and stuff...
