The drive can make a huge difference not only in quality but in ripping speed. If you have a lot of discs to rip, speed is a significant factor. I've used HP and Plextor drives - I find the plextor drives to be both fast and accurate. In general, I have found internal laptop drives to be very slow. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
