Okay, my p160 has a panaflo at the end of it sucking air in. Since I would rather not stick another fan in the front for noise issues, the dust builds up and basically cakes the front of my case. I think its the dust that is causing read/write failure with my optical drives after a few months. So the solution I am looking for is an external enclosure for a brand new dvd burner.
Are there issues I should be aware of? I aim to use the USB 2.0 connection as my mobo does not have firewire.
Will it be able to burn at maximum speed? Im not sure if usb 2 would have enough bandwidth to support high speed burning.
any brands/models in particular I should be looking at?
I also don't know why i bother too, i rarely use the dvd drive at all. But just on the rare occaision that I do happen to need one, I think an external one would be the best option. That and I could also use it on my laptop, which I use more often anyways.
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
