I have a baseline 1st gen. macbook and my harddrive is starting to fill up. The free space is mainly taken up by movies that could easily fit onto several double-layer disks. However, I have no superdrive. I am very tempted to buy a new 160gb internal drive off newegg, however I don't have my mac osX CD's anymore and I guess their model specific which really stinks because we have a 1st gen. intel imac at home too.... But anyways, I was wondering if any other company aside from Lacie is supported as far as external DVD burning drives go. I didn't see any other companies products when I did a search on Apple's support site. I don't really want to shell out $180 for a lacie external dvd burner when they are as cheap as $60 on newegg.
I would opt for an external hdd but I read too many comments from people about them crashing and loosing all their data within 1 year of ownership.
Thanks
