Desktop Burner

What are the pros of an external dvd burner?
Do they burn disks faster than the burner on a desktop?
The Pros of an External DVD burner included:
Ability to use in several systems.
Easy to replace
Can use an external power source
Some Cons would be:
Hard to lug around, (especially for a laptop)
More expensive, (not always true, but generally)
As to whether they burn faster than an internal burner, it really depends on the model.
USB 1.x drives would tend to be slower. USB 2.x and Firewire drives have the potential to be just as fast as internal drives.
The key is the model and brand that you buy. Burners generally handle simple data copying, audio, and video fairly well. If you wanted a DVD that had unique abilities, burn console games and/or manipulate video DVD's in unusually ways, would would have to pay attention to brand, model and firmware details.
