Question External CD Writer

I've just about convinced myself that I need an up-to-the-minute CD writer for backup for my notebook. Would appreciate any thoughts on design features to look for and makes/models strong points.

Particularly interested in the connection. Notebook has USB and I could use either Win ME or Win 2000 so it should work OK. Otherwise, I suppose it will have to be Serial. Also, how are these things powered? I suppose there is power in the Serial port but not in the USB. (I'm an ignoramus about USB (and many other things!))

Thanks in advance.
