I have a 4x CD burner but now that I have cable internet, I have much more use of it. I quickly realized I need something faster. I'm thinking an external but I'm not sure if it would be worth paying more. Can anyone give me advice and/or tell me what spped I should get?
Lite-on are quite good value. Also, consider a DVD burner... they're quite cheap now.

What he said!
If you back up PC games the Lite On DVD burners are extra nice since they're able to write the newer protections quite well.

Just make sure you keep the firmwares on them burners up to date as industry protection schemes target Liteys

Thank you very much. But still, what speed should I get and internal/ext?

Yes No
Well you will probably want the fastest one (although I cant reccomend that you actually burn at the maximum speed but that's a completely different discussion). Shouldnt be too hard to grab a ASUS 523252 (or even the 522452 which I've got) or the equivalent Litey drive

Could you expand on that maximum speed issue?
ps. I have the latest version of Nero.
