 Simply The Best..... June 13, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I recently purchased a MacBook and was looking for a proper dvd burner for it and this is it. Fire wire.... 20X might as well say 200X because it is super fast.. burns a 4 gig dvd in about 10 minutes.. CD in about 1 min or less... If you burn alot of DVD's or CD's this is a must have for Mac owners....
Superb Optical Drive August 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this optical drive because I had been using the "slot loading" drive in my macbook pro quite a bit and I wanted to prolong its life by using an external drive while at home. The firewire 400 version of this drive is fast and it has read a couple of DVDs that my internal drive would just spit out. Also, I wanted a "tray loading" drive since I had a lot of problems getting the internal slot loader to spit out a dvd on one occasion. The price was good and the performance has been superb, so far (after about 2 months). The only fault I can find is that LaCie still includes Toast 8 with the purchase while Toast 9 has been out for quite awhile.
LaCie 301196U DVD/CD/Lightscribe Label Burner for iMac November 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
LaCie, pronounced LAH-SEE, French for The Company. I have an iMac desktop with Tiger 10.4.11 and this is my first experience with any LaCie external drive or any Lightscribe labeling and I like them both..... I actually bought this little unit for the Lightscribe feature only but i like all of the other features too, read, write, burning ,etc... it really beats my Sharpie pen too, and so much neater...... at first I was somewhat disappointed because when I went to burn my first Lightscribe Label on to a blank DVD, I got an error message that there is a communication error.... oh brother !! here we go..... anyway, I tried to call LaCie but of course there is no toll free number so the call is on my nickel... and of course I got in touch with a computer that put me on eternal hold.... so then i emailed them my problem... had to wait for one business day for a response.... however the response cured my problem... what they didn't tell me in the instruction manual, in the first place, is that after you install the LaCie Driver and Label Program CD, that comes with the unit, is that you really must go to www.lightscribe.com website and download their free software lightscribe system revision update...... that's not LaCie's thing..... that's Lightscribe's thing..... anyway also be sure and use Verbatim brand lightscribe DVD's and CDs..... that's what is highly recommended by LaCie.... and to me the Verbatim Lightscribe disk don't seem to be any more expensive than standard old plain disk CD or DVD... I'm happy about that too.... I have also watched a DVD movie and also burned a music CD.... If you want to, you can also burn a lightscribe label before you burn any data, music, video, etc... This LaCie is really a nice unit.... and fast write speed too.... it comes with a Firewire 400 cable and my iMac was already set up for it.... just plug and play on mine... neat..... just make sure that you already have the 400 Firewire connection on the back of your Mac computer and if so...... I recommend this unit.... and you can throw away that Sharpie pen too... UPDATE...4 days later.... I just burned a one hour and fifteen minute vacation movie that I made on my iDVD program and it took about 3 hours of burning to complete and that is about an hour or two faster than when i use the built-in iMac DVD/CD burner....... I then flipped the DVD over and burned the Lightscribe label on the DVD and it took about 20 minutes of burning.... anyway, I'm happy.... regards
LaCie DVD Burner October 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well- great product design, connectivity to MAC. However, the LaCie doesn't interface with the iLife suite to use the 'snazzy' iDVD software. VERY disappointed to that end.
Otherwise product quickly and easily burns cds and dvds of photos.
