I'm in the market for an external CD Burner.
What's the best for a good price?

I have an internal Plextor drive, and I've never seen a Plex make a frisbee..
But an external Plextor drive is gonna cost a fair bit (the internal drives are bad enough)...
That's all I can say, really.

plextor. i've always had good luck with HP burners myself though i've heard of other people having issues with them. whatever you do make sure your burner has the most onboard cache 8 - 16MBs to prevent buffer underruns. B.U.R.N.proof drives are helpful as well as long as you have software that supports this process. do some research, but i think you'll find that plextor sells the "best" package. worth the $

well the dealer I went to only had two externals, both for around $300 (can't remember which brands but neither was Plextor). That was at Staples where things are fairly well-priced. So I changed my mind and got a cheap internal one for $100... some no name (Retail+)but it has a two-year warranty so whatever... if it dies I'll just take it back. Anyway, it takes longer cuz I have to transfer the stuff from my laptop to the pc prior to burning, but other than that it seems to be working fine. :)
