[ale] External CD/DVD Writer

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

I'm thinking of buying a couple of external (USB/Firewire) DVD writers
for the offic.

I definately want to get drives that support Dual Layer* DVD writing
and work from both WIndows and Linux.

Haven't done any real looking yet, but I saw the LaCie drive for $129.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

== * Dual Layer DVD
>From what I understand, from day one all DVD readers were supposed to
be able to read Dual Layer DVD media (8.5 GB).

I don't know if most writers can / cannot write to dual layer media.

I've heard the dual layer media is still about $10 ea.
