super fast and rugged.......2005-01-13
This is a great burner. It worked on my mac without any special anything...plug and burn! I can't believe how fast it burns a CD full of data or music. It is a bit of a brick, so it isn't built for much travel, but it is powerful, fast, and is going to last.
La Cie CD Writer.......2004-05-02
I like this drive and it functions well every time. The only problem I have is sometimes the eject button doesn't function manually (could be my system) but as long as your software has a controller function you'll be ok. The quality and speed are as advertised.
Great product!!.......2004-04-08
This is one of the sturdiest, most reliable, easiest-to-use peripherals i've seen! Within minutes of hooking it up i was burning CDs -- no small feat for this technophobe!
This product has become indispensable to me. I've used it to back up my hard drive, archive my digital photos and transport files to and from work, and it's performed without a hitch. And wow, is it fast!
Although this drive may cost a bit more than similar models, its ease of use and sturdy construction make it well worth the investment.
Flawless and FAST, FAST, FAST!!!!!!!.......2004-04-02
Perfect and absolutely seamless with Mac OSX Panther. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Disaster.......2004-03-31
The product did not work on installation and the accompanying Roxio software product would not install properly, would not uninstall and corrupted Windows 2000 system files, requiring me to rebuild entire system. Considering I bought this product for the peace of mind of data backup, this has been a nightmare. Oh, and support is lousy for both the hardward and the accompanying Roxio CD.

More on LaCie.......2005-02-25
Maybe other reviewers are using the wrong OS. I've been using the same LaCie external drive for over 4 years now, through 2 OS's and various inceptions of them without a hitch. The drive continues to work without any effort from me. I've been using LaCie since back in the days of SCSI peripherals and they've never steered me wrong. Top notch quality, top notch support. Of course though, I'm using a Mac, so there may be some disparity in the level of support other OS's provide their peripherals as well as the support offered by the manufacturer. Which ever the case, LaCie treats its Mac users well.

You don't need another optical drive.......2004-07-25
When I bought this product several months ago, I set it up in five minutes and was burning DVDs in no time. Nowadays I don't burn DVDs as often, but it's still the fastest CD-RW drive I have and it plays DVDs and CDs. What more do you need?
I have it stacked on my Dell 4550 that came with a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive. I keep my two most played video games in those two drives and use my Lacie to do everything else. It's a great primary drive: installing programs, ripping CDs, burning any kind of disk (CD and DVD)...
I also want to mention that I've never had a malfunction of the drive (I just reviewed an external HD that sometimes was not recognized by my system), it's always provided top-notch performance, whether with my notebook or my desktop.
This is a five-star product all the way!
Good performance and value.......2004-06-05
I purchased this DVD ROM device to perform a specific primary task - as a back-up device for my laptops (I have three) - with some secondary needs, such as transferring some of my older VHS tapes to DVD. It meets all of these needs perfectly.
Set-up is easy, and the software that ships with it is perhaps not world-class, but does the job.
Installation and user documentation are clear and easy to follow; however, I have not needed to use the manufacturer's technical support, so I cannot comment on the quality of that.
Note - I purchased this device based more on price than features, so if you are looking for a full featured DVD ROM, or one with more sophisticated software, you may want to shop around and compare others on the market. If your needs are relatively simple, such as mine are, and want to burn data, music and video at an affordable price, this model is a solid buy.
Product Description

Better than the SuperDrive.......2005-08-09
I've been a fan of LaCie since 1993 when I bought a huge (!) 160MB external hard drive for a Mac LC. Since my new iBook didn't have a SuperDrive I figured I'd buy this one.
The SuperDrive on my iMac does not handle DVD+R media, and I had to return a spindle of DVDs once because of that. I also like the fact that the drive is portable and I can take it from machine to machine.
Toast is the best program, and this burner gives it to you when you get it. LaCie products have often included freebies such as hard drive utilities, but this one is the best yet.
On the back is another FireWire port, allowing you to chain something to this. Since my iBook has only one FireWire port this is very valuable to me, especially because I use a camcorder quite frequently.
Also worth noting is the design of the enclosure. It looks awesome!
Average customer rating:
- I love all LaCie products... except this dud.
- Works great on Macs and PCs
- Poor performance, poor warranty repairs
- Good experience so far
- Not too reliable

I love all LaCie products... except this dud........2006-08-07
LaCie normally builds very reliable, high-quality products... I've never had one of their hard drives die on me (I just end up retiring them... anyone need a 700MB external scsi drive? By the way, they generally don't build the internal drive mechanisms, but use reliable brands like Quantum--- which I believe they bought-out.) However, this burner has been problematic since day one. It sporadically fails to burn discs at about a 30 to 40% failure rate, despite different name-brand (TDK, Verbatim, etc.) blank DVDs. Today, the drive stopped recognizing ANY media, stating "no disc" was present. I wish I had purchased a different drive. I've sent an email to LaCie and await their reply.
Works great on Macs and PCs.......2006-01-16
This Lacie DVD burner has worked very well with my Macs (iBooks G3 and G4 and iMac G5) through the FireWire port. It burns a DVD in something like 8 minutes, either data DVD or video DVD, though I haven't tried with home made DVDs or iDVD, I have just tried copying video DVDs (movies) and it works great.
I have burned data DVDs on a Pentium 4 PC WinXP through USB2 port and it works just fine, though not as fast as with FireWire. I have even used it to burn data DVDs through USB 1.1 port on my iBook G3 and it worked, though it took much longer, for obvious reasons. I haven't tried burning Dual-Layer yet.
I really recommend this product, I really like that it has both FireWire and USB ports. I also like that it powers on/off when you connect/disconnect it to the computer.
My only complain is that the tray button is a bit difficult to reach when the tray is open.
Poor performance, poor warranty repairs.......2005-11-27
I've always had good luck with LaCie products, so purchasing the d2 dual burner seemed like a no-brainer. Boy, was I ever wrong.
I've used this burner on Macintoshes and on Windows machines. I've used it with various versions of Toast and various other DVD-burning utilities, and tried various brands of DVDs. In all instances, it consistently fails to burn dual-layer DVDs without incuring fatal write errors. When burning standard DVDs, the failure rate is about 25 percent.
Returning the DVD burner to LaCie for warranty repairs did no good. It still does not work, so I'm sending it back a second time.
Maybe I bought a lemon. Perhaps other people have had better luck with this particular DVD burner, but I can tell you one thing, my previous love affair with LaCie products is over. I will never again buy another one of their products.
Good experience so far.......2005-08-27
I have been very happy with this drive so far. I am a Mac user, and the installation experience was incredibly easy. I already had Toast Titanium installed, so all I had to do was plug the drive in and pop in a blank DVD. It literally took fewer than five minutes to unpack the drive and start burning my first disc. So far I've only burned to DVD+R and the burning has been fast and foolproof (no coasters yet!).
I can't speak to how this would work with Windows, but for Mac users, I highly recommend this drive.
Not too reliable.......2005-05-21
I've bought this drive from Amazon in January 2005. It's hooked up to a laptop in my house that functions as a file server, so the only purpose of that laptop is to accept the files and give me the capability to burn them to the DVD.
The drive is a gamble to say the least. It seemed to work well with Sony DVD-R blanks, very few corruptions or errors during the process, but then after I tried Sony DVD+R and bought a whole bundle of Office Depot DVD+R blanks, things got worse.
The Roxio software would complain about "Not a valid recordable media" in the drive, even though it was a virgin clean blank from the pack, the exact same pack that just had a workable disk yesterday. Sometimes I would get the "Unspecified error 0x01" roughly 3 hours during the burn process, which is extremely annoying (forgot to mention I hooked it to USB 1.1 port, so it doesn't function at 16x, but that's my fault). Other times it would be another "Transcoding error" and "Unspecified error" with trashed blanks.
I'd say I get about 30-35 successful burns with this drive on a 50-disk DVD+R pack. The rest of the blanks have to go in the garbage. Lately I've installed Nero over Roxio software with its "useful" error messages and things seem to run smoother. This would be an okay performance from a no-name cheap Chinese drive purchased in a bin at Fry's, for brand-name Lacie drive the quality of both software and the hardware is quite low.

Amazon.com Product Description
Generally, Compaq's Presario S4000nx series of desktop computers is intended for light- to medium-use situations where cost is the overriding factor. However, the flagship of the S4000nx line, the Presario S4300nx Desktop PC, raises the performance bar substantially while maintaining a degree of affordability. You won't want to use it for complex graphics or gaming without adding a dedicated 3-D video card, but otherwise the Presario S4300nx is ready for most home, home office, and many business applications.
The Presario S4300nx is powered by a fast but sensibly priced 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 CPU with Hyper-Threading technology (Hyper-Threading is a new Intel-developed process that allows a single CPU system to behave in some aspects like a dual-CPU system -- thus boosting performance during key high-drain procedures such as multitasking). Compaq has added a generous 512 MB PC2100 DRR SDRAM memory and an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory. To store and transfer your data, the unit is equipped with an extremely large 120 GB hard disk, a convenient 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and a combination CD-RW/DVD drive that supports CD burning and playing and DVD playback but does not permit DVD writing.
The system features a variety of connectivity options, including serial and parallel ports, a 56K V.90 flex modem for low-speed communication, a high-speed 10-Mbps/100-Mbps Ethernet network port, a whopping half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, and two FireWire ports for fast data uploads from external devices such as digital camcorders. In its stock form, the Presario S4300nx does not permit wireless communication.
The impressive bundled software package features Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Money 2003 Standard and Intuit Quicken Financial Center with Quicken New Users Edition 2003. Monitor and speakers are sold separately.
