Firewire Burner for mastering?

ToddF · 8th August 2006

Have moved to Protools HD G5 from Mix+ G4. We had a Plextor SCSI burner with great results.
Not enough slots for SCSI card in the G5.

Is there a good Firewire burner with mastering quality?

I have been on Plextors site but don't see a Pro oriented Firewire burner.

Thanks Todd

I have the Plextor PX 716 UF and it is both USB and Firewire and can burn both professional CD's and DVD's, it's a great drive.

Do the Plextools error checking utilities work with these drives over firewire?
