T 60 Ext CDRW?

#1 Post by vkul » Wed Feb 14, 2007 2:44 pm

My new T-60 does not have a RW cd drive.

Can some one suggest a good brand name for External CD / DVD Read/Write.

For one I need it to right away to make my recovery CDs.

thanks,

Vishal

I've been using Sony external usb cd\dvd drives at work for nearly 2 years and they have performed very well. And I have used them on various thinkpads including the t60 and x31.

I've great experience with LG, Samsung, NEC and Toshiba. I prefer you buy a DVD burner. Check ebay they got some great deals.

You could also replace the existing CD/DVD-ROM drive with an Ultrabay CD-RW or multiburner drive.

Some examples:

I also use a Sony external DVD-burner. I'm impressed that it can burn a single-side 4.7 GB DVD in 8 minutes. It's not the least bit portable, however. I leave it plugged into the a port replicator.

Yeah, portability is a problem. The only really portable solution I have found is the Lenovo external usb powered multi-burner (40Y8638)(no ac adapter necessary!). It's very pricey at >260$ from 3rd party vendors. If anyone knows of another external burner that is usb powered and sanely priced I'd sure like to know.

No experience with either. :D
