External drive recommendations?

[dumbo]

I have a new iMac which doesn't have an optical drive. Are there any external drives that stand out as superior for ripping with Dbpoweramp (I use Dbpoweramp it on the Windows side of my iMAC)

Re: External drive recommendations?

I'm a newbe researching CD to Flac conversion so ... my desktop is v v new and does not have an internal optical drive so I'm looking for external drives. The CD/DVD Drive Accuracy List 2013 [actually 2012] seems to be either internal drives and/or v old products. What about newer products such as external drive [Pioneer BDR-XS05T Black Slot Load 6x Slim External Bluray Writer] Other threads Ive come across seem to imply that external drives dont work with AccurateRip - is this a power issue via USB2.0 [does USB3.0 work better?] or some other hardware / software optical drive to PC to software issue ? any enlightenment appreciated thanx.

All modern drives work with AccurateRip, internal or external.

Hi,

Just got a brand new Pioneer BDR-XU03 drive today, and it's not working with AcurrateRip. It works perfectly fine for DVD/BD stuff, so I'm pretty sure the drive is healthy.

I don't mind to buy a drive from the list, but the top drives are all pretty outdated.

I'll create a fresh post with the details about the drive.
