iMac & Lacie d2 Dvd Burner & Lightscribe : LaCie 301484U 22X d2 DVDRW DL Lightscribe USB2.0 and FireWire US
I bought this drive a tiny less than a year ago because my iMac SuperDrive was having problems with burning most types of Double-Layer media, and Apple was playing stupid, pretending they had never heard of such a question before with any SuperDrives.
I use this drive every day, and it works very well, with the following exceptions:
The LaCie D2 22x Dvd Burner drive with Firewire burns many types of media relatively well compared to the SuperDrive. The lightscribe works well too, although installing the software was A Nightmare!!! First of all, you have to go to La Cie's website to get the newest versions of 3 different software installers you have to install Separately to get the Lightscribe software to recognize the drive properly (and not as a 'Generic' device). If you don't install them in the right order, it won't recognize the drive properly. That being said, now that I finally have it working properly, LaCie's Lightscribe software for Mac is Fabulous. Much best than Nero's crappy Lightscribe software. In fact, truth be told, it will still burn disks acceptably in 'Generic' mode when it isn't recognizing the drive properly, but it is annoying to have that happen.
Here'S A necessary Tip... Want darker lightscribe burns? Burn the same image Twice or even Three Times! It will burn the pixels in exactly the same place every time on the disk, so each successive burn just makes it darker. Of course that will take a while... About 20 minutes per burn!
Now onto the Big question I am having with this drive. The disks that you burn on this drive will work great when you also play them back on this drive. However, depending on the type of media you use, and the burn speed, it is hit or miss whether they will work on other drives!!! In particular, the SuperDrives in 3 different Macs I have tried it on Won'T read Double-Layer disks that were burned on the LaCie! I tried many types of media, together with Verbatim*, Maxell, Phillips, and Tdk. Also, in my own home, movie disks burned by this LaCie drive play fine on my Sony Ps3, but Not on my Sony Blu-ray player, or my Toshiba Dvd Player. I recently sent out a whole bunch of Wedding Dvd's that I had made in iDvd and burned on double Layer Verbatim Lightscribe disks ($3 a disk). I have been getting Numerous phone calls that these disks Will Not play in the homes of the citizen I sent them to!!! What a waste of time, money and effort!
This drive loses a star for the Lightscribe software being so hard to install, and it loses a star for the disks not working on other players! Otherwise, it is a good drive.
*Update: I have finally discovered One definite media type that will allow me to burn disks that work in most other drives/Dvd Players:
Verbatim 96577 8.5 Gb 2.4x-6x double Layer Recordable Disc Dvd+R Dl, 50-Disc Spindle
You Must buy the 2.4X-6X version of these disks, Not the 8X-10X version. Additionally, you must use the Slowest burn setting, 2.4X. When burned on the LaCie at 2.4X, these Verbatim disks work successfully in all drives I have tried them with so far, together with the Mac Superdrive!
It mostly defeats the purpose of having a 22X drive that can only be used successfully at the slowest speed, but at least I finally found a way to make successful burns on this drive that also work on the widest variety of other manufacturer's devices.
