anyone recommend any external cd/dvd writers for powerbook g4 mac os x. my superdrive is buggered and so is my warranty. I either have to cough up £200+ to get repaired or go cheaper and buy external drive (firewire). I was eyeing up the slim porsche designed lacie drives has anyone got one if so whats it like?
cheers

I just got this yesterday:

Hopefully DVD-R DL's drop soon, 130 for 50 seems a bit pricey ... but I'm used to CD-R prices I guess.

I have that same Sony here. At first I was worried about any internal copyright firmware / software (it being a Sony) , but it is a non-issue. It just chugs along. With the right mix of software it will burn all day. Anyone finds a good deal on dual layer media just give a shout.

I just got this LaCie:

I dig it so far. No problems and it came with Toast7 wich i think is a great app.
The LightScribe option is pretty cool but i dont see myself using it all that much. It takes like 20min to burn the image on the disk. But it looks great if you have the time.
