Hi all,

My external DVD burner is about to get the sack so I thought I'd check with the group to see if there a preferred model to hook up to my 24" iMac 3 Ghz, OS 10.5.7

Perhaps one that lasts a bit longer than the couple of years I got out of this one a Pioneer DVR-111D.

Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Brian

So Brian , Is it just the burner that is in trouble ? Is it possible to open the case
remove the burner and instal another ?

Yeasr old , so it will most likely be an IDE or Eide connection and protocol , so you would need the same to replace it ... not a Sata ... which are all the latest version burners .

Some of the IDE are still available but you need to shop around

Pioneer are hard to find , but it would not have to be that brand.

I might know where to try .. mail off list if you are interested .

Typical price would be around $35 in Perth
