[QUOTE="areth2j, post: 186734, member: 15520"] yeah the porchse drive and the hard drive both run through firewire (daisychained together). At the moment I only have 8x DVD R-'s so I'm sticking to that speed but thats fast enough for me. As I say when buring compliation music CD's its lightning. I'm thinking on FireWire 400 you'd maybe be hard pushed to hit 16x exactly but economy wise the discs arent cheap enough compare to the printable white top 8 speed ones I am getting at the moment. On thing it does have though is LightScribe, which I''ve not tried yet. I plan to order some disc soon though so I can give it a go and I'll post the results on the forum. At the moment I'd havent tried booting from the external LaCie, but like you I've heard good things about the speed. I'll maybe try it at some point but the main reason I got mine was that my PC ran out of space, totally, so i had 200GB of files to move to it as soon as I got it (so I've almost ran out of space already ;). I'll maybe have to buy another, hehe [/QUOTE]
