What CD Burner is Better?

[bpgraham]

Trying to get some advice on what CD burner to buy? I have a laptop, so need an external. I am looking at either a Mitsumi or a MicroSolutions burner. What is better? Or better yet, anyone know of any good deals on external burners?

My Dad has USB Mitsumi 4802-TU. I believe it is compatible with CloneCD. He's been very happy with it.

If you're on a budget then just get an external USB version. Here's what I got for my laptop. Plextor external with PCMIA SCSI cards, but it's kind of pricey.

plextor rox, amazingly fast

Plextors are excellent. I have used Sony, Mitsumi, HP, Philips, S&F, etc and have never really had any problems with any of them, but I would recommend either the Plextor or HP.
