Firewaire External Enclosures...

[frank84]

I am thinking about putting my Plextor DVD burner in to one of those External Enclosures...

Will it be fast enough to burn DVDs in full speed that the drive can support??

You'll be fine.

Firewire = "400Mbit" = about 50MB/second
DVD burning at 16X = about 22MB/second

- M4H

I use this one with a Plextor. Firewire burns a disk about 2 min faster than usb2. I like the fact that I can hook it up to almost any computer. Have all the combination of cable/ends.

You want black? This is one of the best 1394 enclosures around. I have several of them.
