Advice re DVD r/w drive .....

I need to enlarge my storage media for backups and plan to move from CD discs to DVD ...... in storage terms, from 0.7 GB per CD disc to a max of 8.5 GB per DVD disc .....

It has to be an External disc and I'm looking at the following ....


"Freecom 23724 External DVDRW Drive

16 x DVD Write, 4 x Rewrite 16 x Read

48x CD Write, 28x CD Rewrite, 40x CD ROM

Store up to 8.5GB on one disk.

USB 2.0 Interface

Supplied with:- Roxio Easy Media creator

USB cable, power supply & manual on CD

Yes Bundled Software

Blank CDRs and DVDRs included

Compatible with Windows 2000 & XP"


Price seems very reasonable at between approx. 70.00 and 80.00 stg depending on Store

Any views or alternatives to my plan appreciated ....
