CD drive help

I am upgrading my CD drive (CDRW and CDR) with a faster CDRW. The old one
is x4 the new one is x52.

Should i just bin the old one or should i connect it up so its a second
slave unit? would this make it easier to copy and back up CDs? Or is it
not worth it cos the old one is slower? Also how would i do this?

Any ideas?

if you only have one CDRW drive and no other drives you might as well keep
it and use it for copying on the fly (the 4x is only the writing speed it
should have quite a fast reading speed) .. on the fly is copying from one
drive to the other without going to the hard drive .. if you are going to
keep it make sure the two cdrw are not on the same ide channel as it will
slow your new writer down ... after saying all that I only use one CDRW
drive and no other drives (its full of hard drives that's why) so its
personal preference really .. if its only for backing up data from your
computer and copying the odd cd .. you could just as easily bin it ..

isn't this a very contradictory reply )
