LaCie Intros 4x Blu-ray External Burner

xu^ · May 29, 2008

Prices probably havnt dropped as fast as people expect simply because not many ppl are actually buying blu-ray burners ,most ppl seem perfectly content carrying on with their DVD burners,myself included.

in the uk can buy a decent brand dvd burner for as little as £16 ,the cheapest BR is last time i checked well over £100,no surprise that they are not exactly flying off the shelves

Ummm, firewire 400 is much faster than USB 2.0. Especially with large file transfers. Tho admittedly, that bandwidth is mostly waisted on a lowly burner. On hard drives, it's makes a huge difference.

I agree with wile e - firewire 400 is upto twice as fast as USB 2.0. seriously, you cant argue this.

The bandwidth ISNT wasted on a burner. USB 2.0 is capped around 30MB/s, which may well be the speed limit for a DVD burner but bluray is a lot faster. 4x burning on bluray, someone said earlier was 18MB/s - firewire would sustain that a lot better, without the hiccups of USB (USB tends to be unreliable for this i have a USB DVD drive and despite the fact it has enough bandwidth in theory, it takes 3x longer to copy a DVD off that than it does connecting the drive directly via IDE.)
