Default Advice on Buying External DVD Writer

 
Does anyone have a preference on an external dvd writer? I am leaning towards either a Sony or Pioneer. Any feedback would help.

Thanx,

jlt

The sony unit comes with sonic/veritas software. I've had too many problems with nero.

My thanx again

Either one is a good bet. Both writers are excellent. BTW you aren't the only one who has issues with Nero. Recordnow Max is a great alternative.

I bought a external 5.25" drive enclosure with usb2.0 and firewire connectors on the back for $60. It is certified to work with cdrw and dvdrw drives.

Then you can purchase any internal dvd writer and install it in the enclosure.

I got my pioneer for under $100 shipped, plus the $60 enclosure...not too shabby in my opinion.
