Under AOpen on DABS.COM

CD-RW 52r 52w 24rw Ext USB2 RP
Mfr code: EHW-5224U BONUS
Quicklinx: 28PBWS
Long Lead Time Expected £93.00 £109.27

CD-RW 50r 48w 12rw Ext USB2 RP
Mfr code: EHW-4850U

The long lead time sounds a little suspicious, but they are cheaper.

Cool

BTW, bear in mind that buying a CDRW any quicker than about 4x is completely pointless if it's USB, simply because USB can't handle data transmission any faster than that.

If you want to burn at 16x and read faster too, you'll need USB2 or Firewire (1394).

no, no, no, no, no...

USB2 is 480mbit and firewire is 400mbit. but in theory, both are neck and neck.

I can do cheaper.
Buy one of my Creative 16x cdwriters and a vipower ext 5¼ USB2 housing will equate to about £65 plus the vat i think.
Or if you wish I have some Philips 8x or 12 x CDRW left bringing the cost down a little more.
Chek me out at www.medwaycomputers.co.uk and if interested give me a bell during the week.

Dave.
