Aside from saving money, I prefer my external. And I've a reason. Having lost two regular read-only CD units through possible heavy data useage, copying CDs for burning my own archives, regular wear and tear, for whatever reason, they simply failed. While my external burner sits isolated for burns only, which amounts to one ioata of total system time I feel an internal more would accumulate powered, yet unused;--for an end result, which I subscribe to, that anything mechanical (lens, platter, and tray assembly movements) will [sic, for the lessor time] occupy in a diminitive dominion tyranized by Murphy's Law. 'All's well is simply a measure of ascertaining that at any given moment another impending catastrophy will occur.' Or perhaps I'm thinking of Weiner's early work on computer logic and Chaos Theory.
