Based on a posting I made to the HP forum, I found out that I cannot use the NEC 3540A DVD burner internally (in my laptop) because it is physically too large, it being a standard size internal desktop DVD burner; though I can use the NEC 3540A DVD burner externally in an external FireWire case. Cannot use USB because my laptop only has ports which are USB 1.1 specification, apparently too slow for DVD burning.
Considering this, can anyone recommend a firewire enclosure that will make the NEC 3540A compatible with my ‘aging’ laptop (Dell Inspirion 8200)?
Or perhaps suggest other options?
Thanks!
