An internal gives better performance and you also don't have extra cables hanging around your desk. If you can afford it, get an HP CD-Writer of the 8000 series. If this is not an option then there are other brands that are cheaper that do a good job. If you need any more info and pricing details drop me a note on e-mail. michael@inside-job.co.nz	Guest (0)

Write speeds are currently up to 25x but I note that the cheap blank CDs are certified for 12x or 16x drives so I'd go for one of those. Also check the software that comes with it; Adaptec's Easy CD Creator is up to version 5 and is a good choice to look for.
