Hiya,
I've got such great info from here before so I'm hoping someone wonderful can help me out with this one.
I'm looking for a good external optical drive. My priorities are:
- plays nice with apple computers
- can cope with a minor scratch in a disc
- doesn’t require a separate power cable - runs via the USB connection from the computer’s power
I have a superdrive that skips for even the smallest surface scratch on even a brand new CD. I really only use the drive for ripping my CDs so it's kinda a big deal.
I don't use the drive for DVDs or Blu ray, so that's not really the big focus. Obviously that regional lock thing that they put for DVDs would be nice not to have though I'm really more concerned about finding something that will do a beautiful job with my CDs.
Not bothered about appearances. Nothing too hefty (I can't imagine this will come up) my disability means it has to be easy to move around. Don't care what brand as long as it does a beautiful job.
Thank you!
And also a little thank you to the person who posted a deal about a Panasonic DVR in early 2011, I think from Dick Smith. It was an amazing deal and I was lucky enough to get one. The timing couldn't have been better.
