I doubt my external is faster than an internal, but for me its more convenient to have the one external burner. My daughter had a netbook so it came in handy to make the recovery disks. I also do some fix it work on friends and family PC's. There is usually about a 50/50 chance the internal drive doesn't work. More so if they have small children. It's always nice to have options. It wasn't cheap when I bought it, but I don't regret buying it. :)
