...my SD card and is a handy feature. It has got all your regular ports on the back for a monitor etc etc as well as 4 USB 2.0 ports and an Ethernet and modem port (I think its a modem port, sorry if I'm wrong). DVD RW I have used this and it works well and I have had no flaws during writing yet (even on cheap tescos DVD RW's). It reads CD's and DVDs alike with good speed and very little if any data loss.
