A question on CD, CDRW, or should I get???
I'm trying to figure out what to buy for this PC. (I know this is gonna be a fun topic for you knoledgable guys. I'll get so much information I wont be able to assimilate it all)
I'm about to buy a CDRW with the idea of making copies of my Grand Childrens photo's, my Music I have on Tape, for use in the Car Stereo. And some other permanant Documents I want to save on some kind of readable Media for the Future. SO: Am I wasting my time with CDRW? Is there something better, or more futureistic. Is DVD the same type of storage as CD? Will a DVD read/writer do both CD's and DVD's? |

Yes, a DVD/RW will do both CD's and DVD's. DVD's are more expensive for the media but you can record the equivalent of 7 or 8 CD's on one DVD.

DVDRW is the best choice. Quality units are $40 or less. And as Panama Red has already said, you can store much more info which makes the DVDRW even more cost effective.

Lordy, I've been under a rock for quite a while now.
Thanks for the heads up. |

CD-RW drives are almost obsolete now.
