Hi everyone,

My friend wants a new DVD Writer. And he has Sony DRU-830A or Sony DRX-710UL External Drive in mind. Can you please suggest which one to go for??? Are Exetrnal Drives better than the usual cabinet one's????

If your friend need mobility then go for external one....other wise go for a internal one and save some bucks.
