External DVDROM without needing external power source
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2004 1:53 amHi, does anyone know of a good external DVDROM (or DVD/CDRW Combo) that does not use external power source? (e.g. draws power from USB2 bus.)
So far I only know Targus and Storix have a model. Anyone with experience on either of these? I only know Targus from making small accessories like mouse and cases, and I've never heard of Storix before. Anyone know other ones that have these kinds of product?
(Just got a new IBM X31 ultraportable that doesn't come with an optical drive, so looking into getting an external USB2 DVDROM / combo to compensate for it.
Thanks!
