Hi.No, this is nothing new; It all depends on how much power the device needs and how much power is available through your USB ports. I used to own a Seagate portable drive with this configuration of two USB connections, however you only need one if the power provided to the drive is sufficient enough to operate it.

It requires two USB ports not one. I believe this is so it can suck the extra power it needs. So if you have only two USB ports on your PC, it may not be an ideal solution if for example, you want to use a key at the same time. My netbook has three ports, so this doesn't bother me, but it is unusual for a USB device to require two ports. Check out the specs though and you will see it does say that on Play.

Firstly, the CNM drive will write cd and cdrw disks at 24X. I guess they're plugging this as a dvd rewriter, but all dvd rewriter drives will also write cds as well so you've nothing to fear there. I used to recommend Lite on products, however since they are more expensive now than they used to be for some reason I've stopped recommending them. I've always believed that when I make recommendations to people, I look not only at features and specification but also price point considering the competition. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 7:22 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: product recommendation for AdrianHi Yes I am actually looking at that one but it doesn't say whether it's just dvd or cd. Unless you know what all the terminology means, you are not sure what you are lookingat.Have you heard of the lite on make, play.com sell quite a few of them.
