Hello Tosh, got a Toshiba

Advantages: Small, looks very cool
Disadvantages: Noe really, does what it says it does

Toshiba External USB 2.0 Combo Drive INTRO Along with my recent office purchase of the R200 laptop and seeing as it was minus a CDROM I bought an external CD unit. I originally made the mistake of buying the DVD ROM version and at £85 that was next to useless. So I returned that and got the Toshiba External USB2 Combo Drive. There are a few different ones out there, this one wrote CD's and read DVD's. IMPRESSIONS When you open the box up your ...
...ELSE As with all Toshiba products you get excellent product support. There is a good support section at www.toshiba.co.uk I quite like this unit. Looks good and functions well without being no the heavy side. Especially like the easy USB connection and short time it takes to set it up for use. It's a little bi costly but when you see what you get to go with your laptop it makes it worth while. ...

Review of Toshiba External USB 2.0 Combo Drive

One of the best makers

Advantages: Very reliable
Disadvantages: None

One of the best CD Player makers in the business. I have never had any problems with this make of CD Player since I have been using them. Have fitted this make of CD Player in nearly every machine I have built for my self and for my customers for around the last six years and don’t think I have had one returned to me that is not working. Have tried all the other makes of CD Players and have had problems in one way or another with them except the ...

Review of Toshiba CD-ROM Drive

Decent cheap DVD-R recorder

Advantages: cheap, reliable
Disadvantages: DVD- only

First thing to note is that whilst this drive will read both DVD-R and DVD+R it will only record to DVD-R or DVD-RW. However, I don;t find this a problem. If you want to have multi-format capability then you will pay a lot more. If all you want is a decent cheap DVD writer then this will suit. Easy to install. Just stick in the spare drive slot and plug in IDE and power cables. Windows XP finds and configures no problem. My version came with Nero ...
...DVDs great. Super performance. Can write to DVD-Rs at 4x. However, can be a bit picky on media. I found it likes the decent media like Ritek but is not so keen on Bulkpaq or cheaper disks. One great thing though is that it NEVER seems to make coasters. If it doesnt like the media it just burns at 1x speed rather than try to burn faster and failing. This is great news for those of us who hate wasting blanks !!! All in all great DVD writer ideal ...

Review of Toshiba SD R5112

The disc, the disc, the disc is on fire.........

Advantages: Has the light scribe facility, cheap, reliable - Great value for money
Disadvantages: Not pleasing to the eye, fairly large and bulky, loud during the burning process

...up, so step up the LG GSA-E60L. I primarily looked at this drive because of the low price. Whilst there were cheaper drives out there, I had never heard of such brands so I was quite skeptical. The drives could have been made in the same factory as the top brands and given an unknown label (I know many things are manufactured in this way), hence I could have got a bit of a bargain. Alternatively, the products could have been absolute rubbish. It ...
...Looks The LG is black and understated, however it is not modern looking or sleek in any way. It is one of the larger, bulkier and uglier external drives I have seen, but all things considered this is forgivable, however if you are one of those people that put looks over functionality and practicality then this external drive is definitely not for you. When dealing with computer peripherals I always go for functionality and value for money over ...

Review of LG GSA E60L Super-Multi

decent product if you have some back ground knowledge

Advantages: Fast and reliable
Disadvantages: Noisy and needs its own plug socket. Roxio is over complicated for personal use.

When i first opened my freecom dvd recorder i was impressed. it looked decent and very well put together. The installation went well even though it took longer than i had intailly hoped. When it comes to backing up your dvds and cd's the freecom does what you want it to do. It will not convert avi files to dvd format. I also found that the roxio program that comes with the freecom dvd recorder is not helpfull in its tutorial, the program seems over ...
...drive itself is worth having for these reasons; * Reliable and durable (yes i tested mine!) * Easy to set-up due to USB connections. * Fast The Freecom is a little loud and it does require its own plug socket (simular to mobile phone chargers in size). ...
