    Question Internal ATAPI CDRW drive or ?

    My trying to decide on what drive would be best... Im thinking of buying a standard IDE internal cdrw/dvd. But am worried about vibration or interuptions of any kind while the car is in motion. Would I be better off with an internal laptop drive or an external usb drive that are designed for portables...


    Thanks

    an internal slim dvd-rom would run just fine. Ive had one sitting under my passanger seat for a while and it never skipped or anything.
    Mine needs to be updated.

    Problem with that is that they are expensive and are difficult to mount into a dash...
    Is there any reason why I couldnt use a standard cd-rw/dvd-rom?
