I Finally Got A Dvd Burner!
OK so I got my Birthday present early. I was shopping and found a DVD burner :
A Pacific Digital DVD-writer (Looking over it, it supports pretty well every type of DVD out there) and of course it can write out some CDs too.
16 X DVD writing, not bad. It uses USB 2.0 and comes with software and drivers. I love it, so far I've backed up most of my things on my server without a problem.
79 dollars is all it costed and I got home and started looking it over. My main desktop I use daily is a P3 733 MHz, which doesn't met the minimum requirements for it and it runs Windows 98 SE (Wolfesntein, Quake and Doom) and SUSE.
My Laptop runs SUSE and XP.
I plugged it in and XP showed it as being on there and installed some software so I could burn the DVDs. In Linux I popped it on, KDE popped up a new icon, and even though the processor was to slow it worked anyway. Hardware requirements are for XP people anyway. ;)
My MP3 collection won't fit on a dual layer DVD though so I have to split it up a bit. I have 23 gigs of MP3s, 15 of movies and ... Heh.
So yea pretty neat. I wanted external, I don't want to have to worry about not having **** for my laptop because all it has is a DVD-ROM drive and no floppy or CD-Writer. I've been doing the back ups on FTP.
