thank you for your reply , now to the part that confusing me the most , the driver, lets just say i have all i need but the driver ( diode , heat-sink 3x10440 ,flash-light as a host), what driver should i use, should i make it my self or buy it?
Firstly thank you all for your time , it was my mistake to extract the driver from the dvd burner without to check what was the burner so its ok if i cant run it at the max, right now i don't think i can built my own driver and i think it doesn't worth it because the drivers that are on sale are...
