Blue Ray burners

I use an OWC external via FW800 works great. Now half the cost of what I paid.

I have the external drive from Videoguys. It uses the Pioneer BD-203 drive. The Pioneer unit is great and I understand that there is a newer and faster model available now. The enclosure is USB2, so I’m wondering if I could get faster burns with a Firewire 800 enclosure. Currently, it burns at somewhere between 1x and 2x, although the drive is capable of 4x. I’m assuming that with an internal SATA connection, you could realize the full speed potential of the drive.

I have a Panasonic SW-5583 (It is what FastMac rebrands as there own) and a Pioneer BDR-205BK– both are internal in two separate 8-core Mac Pros. Both work great.

Save yourself some money and get them from Other World Computer (macsales.com).

We offer the Pioneer BDR-205 as an internal or external solution.

If you are going to install it internally you will need a cheap Sata adapter. We’ve also heard that the drawer catches in the Mac pro case.

Our best selling bundle for Mac users is with our USB/eSata case for $299. We include a 10 pack of BD-Rs.

We also offer it bundles with the FCS3 upgrade. For more info on our Pioneer BDR205 Blu-ray bundles for Mac follow this link https://www.videoguys.com/VideoguysSpecials/Specials.aspx?sb=24

Gary,

Will you get faster burns with a Firewire enclosure?

[Gary Bettan]

I don’t think you’ll get any faster burn speeds with firewire vs USB2.
