I have a laptop (Compaq Armada E500) and was wondering what SCSI is and which is better to use (USB or SCSI) with a CD writer. |

You don't mention what OS you are using. The early Win95 doesn't cope with USB. Do you have a USB port on your laptop as if you don't USB and SCSI are both awkward on a laptop because you need to add a card for either of them. On a desktop you insert a scsi card into a pci slot and then you can run several scsi devices off the same card(hard drives, scanners and cd's etc). SCSI hard drives are usually faster than standard but I don't know how a scsi and usb CDWriter compare. |

Cheers Mike, yes have USB, running Win98se, processor speed 450MHtz. I usually just look at the read/write/RW specs of writers but was wondering if there were benefits of SCSI and whether it was suitable for my laptop.
Anyone with recommendations for an external CDwriter would be appreciated too thanks. |
