I need a external DVD burner. My mum and dad have a Mac Mini with CD burner and I have the low end Macbook. We both can read DVD's but cannot burn them. I was thinking this one

Many people use Lacie External HDD here and recommend them. I was wondering the same about DVD Burners.

I like the idea of bus powered as it makes it easier for both of use to use it.

Any thoughts.
 
Any reason that you can't just get a 5.25" external drive? I know bus powered is nice but it's expensive for a stationary machine.
 
But how good does the Lacie drive look though? :p :eek:

I will be using it and so will my parents. It will be much easier to move if it is bus powered. I can take it upstairs, next door, uni, were ever I am it can come. Plus my dad could use it with his work notebook. So in stead of getting two 5.25" drives we can get 1.
 
Dude that drive you pointed out is only $30 more than the portable drive. And I am in Australia. So $90US equals about $165 including credit card fees (international currency fees)

I have had nothing except GOOD luck with LaCie products. I have not used their CD/DVD products. I would not hesitate to do so. In fact, I rather like this unit you are looking at. I would not mind taking a little 'wear and tear' off my internal drive(s). I think I am going to pick a couple of these up.
