CD/DVD Buying trips

Sometimes Buying a “CD-R” or “CD-RW” drive user confusing for it. Here I provide some information about “CD-R” or “CD-RW” drive. “CD-R” or CD Record drives allow you to do everything that a standard CD-ROM is capacity of doing with the added ability of creating your own CD. An good s olution for anyone that is in need of a CD-ROM and backup solution. “CD-RW” - Like a “CD-R” drive, a “CD-RW”, or CD Read/Write, drive allows you t o do everything that a standard CD-ROM is capacity of as well as read and write to a “CD-RW” disc 1000 of times instead of once like a CD-R drive. While a little more expensive, this is another great solution for backups. “DVD” or Digital Versatile (video) Disc, allows a computer to not only do everythi ng that a standard “CD-ROM” drive is capacity of doing, but at the same time is capac ity of reading “DVD” Discs and “DVD” movies. “IDE” Each IBM or Intel computer has the capacity of having a total of four IDE devices connect to it. It is likely that one or two of these are already being used, one by t he hard disk drive and one by the “CD-ROM” drive. IDE devices are a great solution for you when thinking about the interface you wis h to use as the drives are easy to install and fast. “USB USB” is a new interface available on newer IBM and Macintosh computers. USB is a fast solution but is the slower of the three interface possible. What makes USB a strong competitor is they are usually always easy to install and are a portable solution , meaning these drives will work with other computers with USB ports. “SCSI” Every Macintosh computer has a SCSI port built onto the Motherboard or has an In terface card for SCSI devices. IBM computers do not have a SCSI card already installed and will need to purchase this card before installing a SCSI “CD-R” drive. SCSI devices are one of the more difficult drives to install but are the fastest solution of the three available interfaces.
