Amacom Baby DVD

Advantages: Does The Job
Disadvantages: Called Baby

...Why did they call this product baby? I know it's small but they could have come up with a btter name. Anway onto the review. I purchased this Amacom Baby (Sigh) DVD-RW with my well earned paper round money a few years back. I got it secondhand off my uncle who didn't want it anymore so it was passed on to me. I gave him fifty pound for it and took it home to start burning. Setup was easy because this is an external player. All you need to do is find a spare USB port on your computer and plug in the DVD RW. The computer will pick the driver up and all you need to do is to pop in the CD-ROM and install the software. You get all the software you need to start burning DVD's but I used Sonic and Nero. I found the on disc software was a little out of date and didn't have many special features. You'll find many computer users in offices... Read review

Advantages: Portable
Disadvantages: Connection to computer is via parallel cable so slow data transfer

...place any CD-ROM drive in the device as the CD-ROm that comes with it is removable so maybe you could remove the drive and put a DVD player in it so you can transfer it from computer to computer. Or use it as a CD-R, CR-RW or DVD-R to backup data from computer. Its has many uses! Price - now I'm not sure I bought this product years ago! I have had mine for over 4 years! and still working prefectly! Price new would be about lets say £50-80 and second hand about £30-50. Its a good buy for advanced users in problems with computer with no CD-ROMs or for backup or for a portable DVD type system. Try it! I recommend it!... Read review

Advantages: Handy eway to store portable data.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...I have used this flash key for mainly transferring JPG photos and word documents. It has proved to be an efficient and useful device. It appears to be a pretty robust piece of technology. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is now a fairly common standard port for desk top PCs and laptops. Most computers now have these ports to enable plug-and-play capacity. Various devices such as printers, scanners and cameras can be connected to these ports to transfer data. Memory keys are useful as a means of storing lots of text files for example, digital photos or Mp3 files. Although the Amacom USB2 Flash Drive has a capacity of 2GB, the amount of data you will actually be able to store on it will be slightly under 1GB. This is because all flash drives use up some of their memory capacity by the software already installed on them. It is this software... Read review
