I use the internal CDRW with my Vaio PCG-XG29.  I believe
that it is the same model which is used in the F580 and
similar F-series notebooks.

I don't use an external CDRW off a USB or PCMCIA dongle.

A person I used to work with has a PCG-XG28; they use a
PCMCIA based CDRW with success, but the card has to be
there, and the drive on, at boot time.

Personally, I prefer the internal version.
