Digital BW, The Print

Mitch,

I was looking at the issue of backup and archiving with CD's or DVD's. Instead I got an External 160GB Maxtor hard drive on a Firewire connection. I am copying photo files off to that. The cost was just under $400. I think there are 120GB units for $300.

A lot easier than burning CD's and cheaper than a DVD burner.

  As I am having trouble with my current SCSI interface CD burner, I have to decide whether to get an new FW-CD burner or a DVD burner. As my Photoshop files are usually about 240MB, perhaps that is the way to go.

  I know of two DVD burners, the LaCie DVD-RW drive which costs $499 and the LaCie DVD DVD-R Second Generation drive which seems to be faster but whose costs I don't know.

  What are your recommendations as to:

  1. whether to go to a DVD burner, and
  2. which DVD burner to get?
