external DVD+/-RW

[ot14]

Hi

What external USB or USB2.0 DVD+/-RW drives work with which X** models?

I'm thinking of getting an X32 or one of the earlier models, so long as DVD playback and recording is not a problem.

Thanks

As a pricey option, you can take a look at Lacie's external DVD external slim drives (designed by F.A. Porsche). They're expensive, but I can at least vouch for the durability and compatability of the Lacie brand (I bought the slim CD-RW 2 years ago, still running strong).

8X, USB Powered, Dual Layer, $189.00 - http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10495

8X, Firewire Powered, Dual Layer, Toast 6 Titanium Software, $199.00 http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10186

Plextor also typically stands out from the crowd. I recommend doing some research on the plextor brand (PX-712UF, or PX-716UF) http://www.plextor.com/english/products ... rives.html
