Well I was looking into this sucker to burn stuff. I only have 80gb and I had to get rid of a tonf of stuff. ALso my Cousin will help split the money and also use this sucker so I will only pay $20 or so, which ain't half bad for a burner.
But is this a POS?

I like the non-fuss of an exteranal, and speed isn't a big deal, will probably be burning mainly music CDS and some RWs for back-up purposes, as well as the occasional DVD for games and whatnot.
Any chance some burned DVDS will play on dvd players or even the PS2? I doubt the latter from what I know...
This lightscribe sh*t is garbage lol.
WHAT LIGHTSCRIBE IS
A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LABEL YOUR DISCS LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. Because the labels are laser-etched—not printed—there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling. Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork using your label-making software. Or choose from the many free backgrounds the software provides. You may also visit http://www.lightscribe.com/ideas/labelgallery.aspx?id=219 - LightScribe's label gallery for free downloadable designs. Once you create your design, be sure to follow these three steps:

Im not fond of external burners, if you have an extra slot, id say grab an internal. As for lite-on, they are cheaper alot of the time, but not the best quality. I like mine to be silent (or near it) and have never found a quiet lite-on. I have a Samsung WriteMaster now and I really like it. Burns anything and is very quiet,got it pretty cheaptoo off of ebay.

Just looked at teh link you posted tybo, that external is of course a different model than mine, but if its anything like my samsung and you must have an external, I think you will be very happy with it.
