I am looking for a new enclosure for my DVD burner (Pioneer DVR-107D) the just released 8X.
I used a Bytecc version I bought from newegg. But it uses a regular computer power plug which is convenient when moving it from computer to computer since these plugs are about $2. However, because the power supply is internal it generates alot of heat. Not sure if that is good for this new 8X which may generate more heat than previous 4X burners. Also with my last Bytecc the fan started making noises and then just died and I did not use it for more than 6 months!
Bytecc now makes one with an external AC adapter which should run cooler. But I need to move the adapter and unplug it every time. Does anyone think it will be easy to find a Radio Shack one to use as a secondary? Also its 1394A and 1394B, not sure if that is backward compatible with my regular 1394 ports.
What enclosure are you using and has it lasted long for you?
