External GP USB 1.1 4x4x32 CDRW :: internal 4x4x48x GP CDRW….muhaaa…

This is for work and we only ever burn like tops 30mb to CD so 4x is just fine, take about a min to burn 20mb now as where on USB 1.1 too like 4 mins, because of old USB lag….

And don’t even ask about copying a CD on USB….much nicer now on an internal drive


PS: I may just buy a $35 52x drive….
 
Thats awsome. How did u cable it, onboard usb? or out the rear?



(do dells even have usb headers???)

edit: or did u use the internal IDE (it looked that way from the pix)
 
When you open a External HDD or Cdrom of any kind, its reall a drive inside a case, so i hooked it up to the slave IDE header on the cirrent CDrom \
 
95% of all external drives are internal drives with an external casing. You can usually take the internal drive out of it's casing, replace it with a newer faster drive (still doesn't make the connection faster, its still a USB 1.1 enclosure). However, I have a USB 2.0 with a 48x drive (I think) so I could take that drive out and even use a HDD in it's place.

Think of the enclosure like an internal IDE-> external USB (or firewire) converter.
 
Yea, you can. I allready stuck an old 6 giger in it to try it out and sure enough it works...

Yep. You can actually buy the external cases for about $30 from NewEgg. It's a lot cheaper than buying an external-insert-part.

I use one for a 12gig HardDrive. It's a lot easier to shuttle files between computers with USB2.0 and a small harddrive than it is to shuttle the entire computer or a lot of compactflash cards.
