Solve : disadvantages of an external (usb) optical drive??

Answer»

Been thinking of getting a external blu RAY burner to play blu ray movies and burn cds/dvds.

Is the only disadvantage of going external usb that it takes a bit LONGER to burn discs? As for watching blu ray movies will it still be good quality?

My internal dvd drive crapped out RECENTLY and I want to get a external blu ray drive. Quote from: STC on February 17, 2014, 09:08:43 AM

I do not THINK that an External Burner or Optical drive would have any real disadvantage functionality wise.

A Blu-Ray is about the fastest required read-speed, and that is 32MBit/s, which is well within the 480MBit/s speed of USB2. The only consideration would be what other devices are being used at the TIME, since all USB devices on a single root hub will share the 480MBit/s bandwidth.
