Burner User Reviews and Comments Discuss, External or Internal need help at CD and DVD Burners forum; I am looking to buy an external Burner. I do have a USB 2.0 hookup. Is the quality and speed of external burners worse than internal burners? If external is just as good, does anyone have a recommendation for a good external burner drive non-blue ray. Thanks

External or Internal need help

I am looking to buy an external Burner. I do have a USB 2.0 hookup. Is the quality and speed of external burners worse than internal burners? If external is just as good, does anyone have a recommendation for a good external burner drive non-blue ray.

Thanks

Re: External or Internal need help

I'm guessing you are talking about internal or external burners. Both should work just fine. Sometimes the internals are faster by a little bit..

Re: External or Internal need help

Either will do the trick with the Verbatim DLs. I have both internal and external drives, both burn them well (8x Verbatim DL).

As for recommendations. I very much like my LG external (E10N, but there are newer models out now).

I agree with fluff on the LG stuff!
