External dvd writers have their own power supply. They don't use much power or resources from your pc compared to a internal one. Generally external ones are more expensive than internal drives. I would recommend Plextor, Pioneer and LiteOn dvd writers. Also it depends on what your computer specs are. I would suggest getting a internal drive dvd writer unless you don't have room in your pc then getting a external one would be ideal. External drives can be hooked up by USB or FIREWIRE. For portability a external one would be good to get. Plextor's external and current internal drive both burn at the same speeds. Check their website www.plextor.com

Plextor will be coming out with their newest dvd writer next month the 712A.

Every brand has their pros and cons and share of problems.
