Are SLIM BD Drives considerably worse than normal Internal drives?

Leonhardt90@alien.topB to Data HoarderEnglish · 11 months ago

Some people are saying I shouldn’t buy a Slim External BD Burner if I want to burn good quality discs, because they are crap and the discs will die sooner. Is that true?

Is it a better option to buy an internal drive and use some kind of sata to usb external adapter?

I’d prefer the SLIM USB one, but if the burn quality is really worse, I will consider an internal as external…

There are full sized external drives that have their own power supply. I think they are basically the internal ones with SATA to USB adapter inside an enclosure.
