My laptop internal DVD+-RW drive seems to be dead or seriously crippled somehow. I'd rather have an external drive so I don't always have to risk carrying it around with me (to break again). Is the speed of the connection the bottleneck or is the read/write speed of the drive itself usually the bottleneck? If the connection is, what type can transfer fast enough to keep up? Would a really fast connection just be a waste if the drive writer can't keep up? Anyone have any good articles or input?Thanks so much.</blockquote>
