DVD RW Question is it good in general? & For PS2 backups

[ultima_akuma]

thanks for the reply, and yea I am in the UK, noticed you are as well.

I thought I would be better off with an internal writer, but the reason why I want an external one is because I have a laptop, and will need to connect the DVD RW via USB.

So having known that I need to have an external DVD RW, do you think the FREECOM Classic DVD+-R/RW 16x Double Layer USB2, is a good DVD writer for backing up my PS2 games as well as DVD's in general?

Here is the link that I will most probably buy it from:

Also, do you know if it is possible to buy and burn DVD9 disc's? and with this DVD RW?

Thanks in advance
