Removable Media Option

When considering a removable media device, especially if you want to share files between friends or office workers, you need to make sure that you standardize on one type of media. Or, you may want to consider a CD writer or CD-RW writer.

Pros - Just about everyone has a CD-ROM, so most people will be able to read your files.

Cons - Ssssllllloooowww! Compared to most other media devices, writing with a CD writer takes forever. Plus, a CD writer may be difficult to set up.
