    Hi

    Looking to add a DVD writer to my years old HP desktop.

    Not really tech-minded at all, so guessing an external unit is the way to go?
    Probably won't be used more than about 50 discs a year.

    Anyone recommend a reliable & easy to use writer, please?

    ps Mods- apologies if I've misplaced this thread, please move if required

    internal is way to go..if you have an oldish hp desktop then i'd go for internal ide just in case you don't have any sata connections...
    all the brands are very similar made in very similar (if not the same) factories etc..I like the new asus ones..tend to be very quiet.

    if you can't install an internal drive for some reason (incredibly easy install btw) then yes an external drive..downside is it will come with it's own power supply, upside is you can transfer between pc and laptop or whatever but considering most modern computers have dvdrw drives preinstalled i'd really just go for an internal ide one
