Well, that sure answers my question. I was very pleased to see that Nero 6 was included with the drive.

Anyway, the only other thing I could think of is that if it's easy enough and doesn't violate your warranty, you could try taking the actual drive out of the external enclosure and hooking it up via IDE. Or you could just return it, buy the internal version, and try it out with an external enclosure of your choice. I've been thinking about doing that myself.
