Hi Steve.I've just got one as well *smile*. I have Samsung machines which both have 3 ports, but I was aware of this issue. I have a slot loading drive which is the same in point of fact, it has two USB connections one for power and one for data however the data connection can provide power as well. Depending on how much power your netbook is capable of providing to the USB connection, you may not even need to use the additional power USB port, but thanks all the same for letting me know, it was thoughtful of you to point this out.
All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ibrahim,I just ordered the CNM drive, but there is one thing you should be aware of.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 idealsolution if for example, you want to use a key at the same time. My netbookhas three ports, so this doesn't bother me, but it is unusual for a USBdevice to require two ports. Check out the specs though and you will see itdoes say that on Play.

I guess they'replugging this as a dvd rewriter, but all dvd rewriter drives will also writecds as well so you've nothing to fear there. I used to recommend Lite onproducts, however since they are more expensive now than they used to be forsome reason I've stopped recommending them. I've always believed that whenI make recommendations to people, I look not only at features and specification but also price point considering the competition.

Unless you know what all the terminology means, you are not sure what you are looking at. Have you heard of the lite on make, play.com sell quite a few of them.
